Grow Your Own Magazine

i have just purchased two marechal foch grape vines from morrisons of all places.
i do not know haw old they are but they are about 3-4 foot tall with lots of new growth and leaves and many bunches of small grapes

should i cut off the grapes or leave them

is it still ok for me to re-pot them the now

what is the best food for them

How big are the pots? You should be able to tell if they need potting on if you know them out gently and if they are root bound, repot them.

I'd reduce the small grape bunches by about half, less fruit, better quality according to my chum who grows acres of the things.

thankyou i will be re-potting them as i think they need it

i was not sure how many bunches of grapes to take off but i will certainly be taking half off after your advice

i will be hoping to pick your brains about these as they are from france but i cannot remember just now the area

I too bought one of these grape vines from morrisons and it has tons of fruit on it, wkat i would like to know is if i can eat them as you would shop bought ( i know they wont be as big or as tasty ) but are they eating grapes or just for wine.

I was given this vine as a Birthday present today, and being fairly new to gardening would appreciate some direction on its care. I intend to grow it in my new greenhouse.

i think they may be for wine i looked on the internet jus type in the name and i got a few different sites
i have now about halved the grapes on my plants as there were literally hundreds
they seem to be doing ok i have had them for a fortnight and they still look good

on my vine some of the medium sized leaves are turning yellow and dropping off
is this bad?
what am i doing wrong?
it is only about 6 leaves on each plant but i am getting a little worried
