Drewski Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hello, thought I would pop into the Allotment group and say hello and at the same time ask if anybody has a grape vine and or cuttings so that I can get a vine growing along a very long fence. Thank You Link to comment https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/178109-heard-it-on-the-grapevine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womerry2 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 It's a bit late in the year for grape vine cuttings as the plant tends to bleed a lot of sap. You'd be welcome to cuttings of mine next March/April, though ...

Ickle Ed Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Womerry where have you got your grapevine growing? Mine is really reluctant to do anything but die- and we have a really sunny south facing garden. Any tips would be great.

Womerry2 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just in the ground in the garden, at the end that gets the sun pretty much all day. The soil is quite rich; these very small gardens have been worked for 100 years or so, so there is no clay pan left. My vine is a very basic type and bears sweet, small green grapes. It was grown from a cutting and has never been grafted or improved, so it's pretty good at fighting off the usual mould and pest issues that "proper" grapevines get. If you have a propagator, you're welcome to take a cutting next year Link to comment https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/178109-heard-it-on-the-grapevine/#findComment-3234850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickle Ed Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thanks for that. I will probably move the vine to a sunnier position. Link to comment https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/178109-heard-it-on-the-grapevine/#findComment-3236822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
