Please can anyone tell me why the leves on my grapevine are wilting? This is only apparent on one branch. They remind me of a plant which has not been watered. There is no apparent diseas, just wilting leaves. I am new to growing vines and would appreciate any help. Thank you. Kenya.

Ok let's try stating the obvious (and my knowledge of vine growing is somewhere between 'slight' and 'non-existent').
Have you checked that there is no damage to the branch in question? It isn't always easy to spot a partial break, and that might be enough to stop the water getting into that branch.......

Hi Hilary,
Yes, I have inspected for breaks in the branch but cannot see any. I only got the vine last year and am completely new to growing them. I do have a few possible bunches of grapes on it but am quite worried about the leaves wilting although as I said the rest of the plant seems healthy. Thanks.
