Conservatory vine

In message , Sacha writes snip In Guernsey, the original 'Guernsey Grape' was Canon Hall. This is rarely grown there now since the glasshouse industry collapsed but at one time, Guernsey Grapes were famous and exported in wooden punnets with metal handles. We bought one baby vine from Reads three years ago and it's grown a lot. I hope that *next* year, it will fruit because I have never tasted a better grape ever, anywhere in the world. This sounds very interesting. I'm thinking of planting some vines just to see what they will do up here. Maybe I'll look for this one. One site says that it 'needs some heat' but doesn't say whether that means just in winter or ayr, so you might want to check on that. I'm hoping to get another to plant in our prop. house which is gently heated all the time. It will be interesting to see if it's more vigorous and fruits earlier. -- Sacha (remove the 'x' to email me) |
