    I had one of those once. It never really thrived and eventually gave up the ghost. I guess it didn't like the dry sandy soil. Hope yours does better than that (but not so much better that it gets invasive).
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Thanks all.
    I saw it at Beth Chattos garden, where i thought it looked ideal for my situation.

    That’ll be where I’ve seen it ... I was there with Wonky last summer.

    And lavender and asparagus, turnips, peas, garlic, cabbages, celery, onions, leeks, cucumbers, globe artichokes, figs, medlars, sweet chestnuts, cherries and plums were all introduced by the Romans.   Herbs and spices too - mint, coriander, rosemary, radish, and garlic.  Also grapes for their wine ..............

    But apart from that, what have they ever done for us?

    Roads, baths under floor heating and most important [ on the right person ], togas.

    @Obelixx, so long as they didn't introduce parsnips, forsythia and ceanothus, their introductions may have been  beneficial.
    Has anyone studied the incidence of vine weevils before the romans introduced vines?

    Better ask @wild edges as he seems to know them quite well.
