    The roots of a mature grapevine can reach down 6 ft. 

    My grapevine is cut hard back every winter to the main stem
    which is about 18 inches from the ground. Each spring and summer it puts on all the new ‘branches’ which will carry the fruit … they reach upwards at least 8 ft …. way above the top of the supporting framework. 


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
