Description
Vitis ‘Strawberry Wine’ Grape Vine Plant
Grow your own delicious grapes at home with this Vitis ‘Strawberry Wine’ grapevine. A self-fertile variety, this grape vine produces sweet, edible fruit with a distinctive strawberry-wine flavour, making it an excellent choice as both a dessert grape and a table grape for the home garden.
As a vigorous climbing vine, Strawberry Wine is perfect for training along a trellis, pergola, wall, fence, or arbour, where it will reward you with attractive foliage and a generous harvest of sweet grapes through the summer months. Equally well suited to container growing on a patio or balcony, this grape vine thrives in smaller spaces and is an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced growers looking to enjoy home-grown fruit.
Plant Care
Choose a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. Most soil types are suitable. Provide a sturdy support structure for the vine to climb. Water regularly while establishing and feed throughout the growing season to encourage healthy growth and a plentiful crop. Prune in late winter while dormant, reducing the previous season’s growth back to one or two buds from the main framework to promote fruiting spurs.
