    Seriously BM, not fishing for compliments! Those grapes would have been spectacular if i had put wires in and trained them, i haven even taken the time to prune them! In all honesty, i didnt think for a min, they would grow so well image

    I wasnt even sure they would grow! Now im scared to hack at them because they bleed, will just have to try and tame them bit by bit when i do the rest of the front!

     This was Nov last yr. It's a stunner every autumn, but last yr it surpassed itself, even had 2 people knock and ask if they could take a pic image

    I planted it as a 2ft sapling about 30yrs ago. Probably the best investment plant wise I've ever made.
