Boskoop Glory grapevine

Ciaran Meagher asked 15 years ago

Hi Gerry, My wife just gave me a Vitis Boskoop Glory grapevine, that she bought in Avoca. I have recently built a greenhouse, that has a very sunny aspect – someone suggested to grow the grapevine outdoors, but to possibly trail the vine into the greenhouse for a higher yield of grapes. Have you any suggestions on the best place to plant this type of grapevine, and is the greenhouse idea worth doing?

The vine variety ‘Boskoop Glory’ can be grown outdoors in a warm, sheltered place, and if conditions are warm and sunny will give a good return. Grapes are generally grown indoors in this country as the summers are too cool and wet.

A vine can be planted inside or outside a greenhouse … matters little as the roots will soon pass under the greenhouse shallow foundations and root out into the open soil anyway.
