Thompson and Morgan Grape Vitis Cabernet Sauvignon Plant Pot 3L

It’s hard to beat this classic grape variety when it comes to flavour, especially if you’re planning on making your own fine wine or a delicious grape juice. Grape Vitis Cabernet Sauvignon is an attractive vine which produces generous bunches of purple grapes late in the season. Best grown under cover to protect the late-ripening fruit, in a large greenhouse is ideal, but they can also do well trained against a sunny outdoor wall if in a very well-protected area. Height of cordon-trained vine: 1.8m. Spread of cordon-trained vine: 1.5m. Untrained plants may reach up to 8m. When growing grape vines, choose a sunny position in any well-drained soil. A south-facing position against a wall is ideal. Grape vines require sturdy support for their twining stems. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m. Posts or attached to a warm wall. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant grape vines against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 2m. between plants. After planting, reduce the newly planted grape vine back to the height of the lowest support wire, and cut back any side shoots to one bud, before tying the main stem into the supporting wires. Position: Full Sun Height: Up to 1.8m when fully established. Spread: Up to 1.5m when fully established. Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary the results. Image may be included for illustration of supply, but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
