I was given a Pinot Noir vine as a present. I do not want to grow it
outside as I would not expect any fruit this far north (Manchester). So I
will plant it in a container in my conservatory.

Any advice from anyone who has done this successfully? I am not able to
cut a hole in the floor to allow the plant to root in the natural ground,
nor can I grow it outside and train it in through a hole in the wall as I
have seen suggested.

Love
R.

Thank you all for your advice. I have decided not to take the trouble to
produce grapes but to grow the plant outdoors for purely decorative effect.
I will regard any grapes as a bonus.
