A south-facing aspect against a wall proves ideal. Grape vines necessitate robust support for their twining stems. Prior to planting, establish a framework of wires stretched horizontally between sturdy 1.8m (6ft) posts or affixed to a sun-drenched wall. Enrich the soil with generous amounts of well-rotted manure or garden compost before planting. Position grape vines against the wire supports, maintaining a 2m (6ft) gap between plants. Post-planting, trim the newly planted grape vine back to the height of the lowest support wire, and prune any side shoots to a single bud before securing the main stem to the supporting wires.Position: Full Sun.Height: Up to 180cm (71in) when trained.
