Planting
1
Grapes prefer a sheltered site, ideally against a sunny wall or fence. The soil should be well drained and not
too rich. The planting distance will depend on the adopted growing system. On the rod system, vines should
be planted 2m 6ft 6in) apart.
Plant your vines as soon as possible after receipt. Should weather conditions be adverse (i.e. if the ground is
frozen or too wet to plant), then the bushes can be left in their pots in a sheltered spot or if bare rooted
should be temporarily heeled in until conditions improve. Dig a hole or shallow trench and cover the roots
loosely with sufficient soil or compost so that no roots are exposed to the air.
Improve the soil structure by thorough digging before planting and if possible mix well rotted manure or
compost into the top soil.
Soak the roots in water for 1-2 hours. Dig a hole comfortably large enough to take the rootball, remove the
pot and plant, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil or up to 1cm (½in) deeper.
Apply rootgrow™ mycorrhizal fungi directly to the roots before planting - this will help the plant to establish
quickly. Firm the soil around the rootball and water-in thoroughly.
There is no need to remove the grafting wax which is there to protect the graft - the wax itself will weather
away over time.

Weeding & Mulching
Keep the area around your vine free of weeds, particularly during
its first year. An annual mulch of well rotted compost will greatly
improve moisture retention and soil structure, and help suppress
unwanted weeds.
Watering
In very dry weather water your vine thoroughly once a week, especially
during its first spring and summer.

Pruning
There are many different methods of training vines, developed over thousands of years. A simple way to
grow vines in a restricted area is using the rod system. To establish the vine allow only two strong shoots
to develop. These two shoots will form the main stems or rods. Vines fruit on new side growths from the
main stem. In spring, when the fruit has developed, pinch out the tips of young side growths leaving two
or three leaves beyond each bunch. In November, after all the leaves have fallen, prune back all side
shoots to two buds from the main stem or rod. Never allow more than two new side shoots to grow from
each of these spurs.

Feeding
Feed liberally in spring using Fruit Feed.
Pests & Diseases
Grapes are generally trouble free but
watch out for powdery mildew (white
blotches on the leaves and fruit) and grey
mould (botrytis). Any chemicals should be
used strictly as per the manufacturers
instructions.
