Hmm ... I have a pergola with apples trained along the sides and over the top, and a wisteria crawling along the top of the apples ... adding a grape vine would be one step too far ... but could I grow a grape vine up one of the other trees? I not worrying about maximising fruit, but perhaps getting a little, while at the same time having an attractive creeper? -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

s.com: Hi all,i have a pergola, which i am going to grow a wistera .I would like to grow a grape vine which are good enough too eat,is this possible if so can anyone recommend a variety?I live in Nottingham,East midlands. Um, do you mean you are planning to grow a wisteria and a grape vine on the same pergola? If so, I think you may need to re-think, unless the pergola is a large one. Wisterias are very large vigorous plants, and grapes need plenty of sun to crop well. I'd be worried about shading out the vine with the wisteria - unless you have plenty of room to prune both and keep them more or less separate.
