ENEnsure a well-drenched root ball before planting your Vitis vinifera - soak the plant in a bucket of lukewarm water.
Prepare a large hole and loosen the soil with a fork. Improve poor soil with a mix of humus rich compost before planting your grapevine at the correct depth - the top of the root ball should come to just below soil level. Fill the hole and heel well in before watering generously.
Vitis vinifera will thrive in a humus rich, permeable soil in the sun. Plant extra vines 150-200 cm apart. Growing in the greenhouse is of course also possible - as is, in a large planter on the patio, although your harvest will then be somewhat curtailed.
3x Grapes: 'Palatina' + 'Lidi' + 'Muscat Bleu' - Fruit shrub - Climbing plants
Vitis vinifera 'Palatina' + 'Lidi' + 'Muscat Bleu'
Frische Trauben aus dem eigenen Boden
Rot, weiß und blau. Das sind die Farben dieser leckeren Traubenmischung! Die ‚Muscat Bleu‘ reift früh mit großen Rispen blauer Trauben. Die ‚Palatina‘ gibt große Rispen mit saftigen weißen Trauben. Die ‚Lidi‘ reift früh mit großen Rispen von süßen roten Trauben. Wir bauen die Trauben im Anzuchttopf einfach im Garten an! Die selbst bestäubenden Trauben brauchen Halt beim Wachsen. Deshalb pflanzen wir die Obststräucher an eine Wand, eine Hecke oder einen Zaun. Wir können die Trauben auch in Töpfen auf die (Dach-)Terrasse oder den Balkon pflanzen. Mit einer Stütze. Die Obststräucher in Blumentöpfen sind frostempfindlicher. Dann wickeln wir die Töpfe mit Luftpolsterfolie ein.
Die Obststräucher blühen im Sommer mit unauffälligen Blumenrispen. Im zweiten Jahr nach dem Pflanzen können wir ab Ende des Sommers mit der Ernte beginnen. Trauben wachsen in gut durchlässigen Böden. In trockenen Zeiträumen gießen wir mehr. Für ein gutes Wachstum ist ausreichend Licht erforderlich. Wir pflanzen die Obststräucher daher in der (halb-)vollen Sonne.

Show moreA grape is a climbing vine that needs support along a fence, pergola or a wall. Use chicken wire in places that need somewhere to tie the shoots in. Water extra in dry periods. Give a dose of lime in the autumn and a good mulch of mixed organic fertiliser in the spring. The soil should not be too wet for too long, this will not be tolerated. Keep birds off with netting or some other form of protection.
Pruning grapes
With the correct pruning technique you can expect a decent grape harvest.
Allow new plants to grow one main shoot and tie it in. The following year(s), keep side shoots at the required height by training them horizontally along wires. Side shoots from them can be cut back just before Christmas to just two buds (eyes) and these will grow really quickly in the spring.
You will see tiny bunches of flowers appear around June. Adult plants should be allowed to keep 2 to 3 flower clusters per side shoot. Cut back in June to 1 leaf past the furthest cluster of flowers.
When the grapes are grown to pea size, thin them out to allow more of them to grow bigger. In September, cut leaves away to allow the sun access and the grapes to ripen better.

Show moreThe 'Palatina', 'Lidl' and 'Muscat Bleu' grapes are all juicy table grapes that form large bunches on the vine. Depending on the weather, the bunches should all be ripe from around the start of September. Vitis vinifera is a pest and disease resistant variety that grows fairly large grapes. A decorative vine, it will in any case be a pretty asset draped around a pergola or along a fence.
These three varieties of grape, 'Palatina, 'Lidl' and 'Muscat Bleu' are all self-pollinating.
