;859330']When should I buy/plant a grape vine?

Specialists such as Silk Tree at Wheatley sell bare-root, which are
only available late winter/early spring, same as specialist apple
nurseries.

I would carefully research the variety you plant, because growing
something that more often than not fails to ripens its fruit, or only
gives you a few very small grapes, is rather disappointing. That's
likely what you get if you buy whatever it is your local garden centre
has for sale. Is the vine Aldi are selling even labelled with a
variety?

They only had berries of the Cran and Goose
