Hi
I'm in Manchester and it wasn't a great summer last year, but I have a 'Black Hamburg' in my greenhouse and have trained it for the last 3 years, and I let it fruit for the first time last year, we had 5 good bunches of grapes, all ripened and were absolutely lovely to eat (Dessert Type) and this year have planted a 'Sauvignon Blanc' outside and am going to train this the double guyot system so if I have any luck with this I will let you know but it will be next year before I let it produce any grapes. I was told when I first planted my 'Black Hamburg' that to get 1 gallon of wine you need at least 12lb of grapes. |
