    Hello,
    Today my uncle visited me and he very nicely bought me a Boskoop Glory Grape Vine plant. I have done a little research, but to no avail. I am going to grow it in my 8x6 greenhouse up a cane and along a cane on the roof, internally of course. (if that would be the best option to protect the fruits) :heehee:

    But i know nothing about it!
    • Training
    • Pruning
    • When fruits set
    • Possible diseases .... aarrgghh, i have no idea what to do with the thing! :dunno: :scratch: The price is still on it ... £9.99, so I really don't want any possible diseases or pests to get the fruit before me! :nonofinger:
    Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

    We have a ginormouse grape vine growing in the largest of our greenhouses. It was already there from the previous owners. We virtually do nothing to it except tidy it up after it dies back. A friend of ours takes the ripe grapes for wine and some of the leaves too. It looks like they used wire and canes to train it along the back and around the sides. Also for the side shoots during growing season. We never water it or feed it but I assume that a young vine would need that doing until established.
