It's certainly possible. I can't remember if Reads of Norfolk are also vine specialists, but there is a good one in East Anglia. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

We got a Canon Hall vine from Reads (the King of dessert grapes, IMO) but it was a very tiny baby when it arrived. We kept in it one of the tunnels for a year and planted it into the soil in a greenhouse two years ago. This year it's going to fruit for the first time - can't wait! -- Sacha (remove the weeds after garden to email me) |

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.

You can do it with a bit of fprwrd planning.... 2*Wisteria trained along the side timbers of the pergola with all side branches cut back very short. Grape vine(s) as a green roof in the sun. pk |

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" |
