As it is a woody climber with three to five-lobed leaves it is ideal for training up an arbour and other garden structures. The vine produces good quality dark blue fruit, and is an excellent cropper.Grape vine looks good from late spring until mid-autumn, making it one of the most valuable climbers for a small or medium-sized garden.As the days get shorter and colder, the grapevine loses its leaves and slips into winter dormancy. Like other deciduous plants, the green vines die back, leaving only dead vines and a woody trunk. The grapevine looks completely dead. In the spring, new vines will sprout from the trunk and spurs or canes grow rapidly through the summer into a tangled mass of vines and fruit.Sold in a 4 litre pot.
