There are many varieties of grapevine, which bear grapes that can be eaten as a dessert or used to produce wine – many can be used for both. Some are tender and need the shelter of a greenhouse to yield a generous crop. If you don’t have a greenhouse, don’t worry – there’s a wide variety that can be grown in well-drained soil in a sheltered spot like a south- or west-facing fence or wall.
Vitis ‘Boskoop Glory’ is a versatile black-fruited cultivar that can be used as both wine and dessert grape. This old variety is considered a reliable, heavy-cropper. Vitis ‘Boskoop Glory’ has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
