When can I redirect a grapevine in the glasshouse
Gerry, where can grape vines be bought in Ireland, preferably in Limerick /Munster region?
gerry i was given 2 grape vines lately, i have a 40ft /8ft high/polly tunnel is it possible for me to grow these vines in it or would you have any other suggestions .i also grow all my bedings lillys and small scrubs //
3 year old vine, produced healthy leaves this season but now leaves have curled up, brown spots, withered and died - any solution?
I have one Black Hamburg grapevine in a glasshouse. It is 30 years old. Grape crops were excellent up to 6 years ago when it was attacked by mealybugs brought in on an ornamental plant. How can I get rid of this pest chemically? I have tried control by cleaning off old bark, squashing egg-nests, etc., but the pest lives on despite these efforts.
I sowed a vine about three years ago, rooted outside and trained it inside the glasshouse. There has been plenty of growth and flowers. However towards the end of June the flowers fail to develope further- no obvious signs of pests or disease. I have used no spray to date. What is the cause of this? Should I now spray for mildew and maybe be more active with regular prunning?
