Description

Originating from Germany where it is known as Trollinger, Black Hamburgh found fame and favour in the UK after Lancelot 'Capability' Brown planted a vine at Hampton Court Palace in 1768. Over 230 years on, the vine is now famously known as the Great Vine - and rightly so as it is now over 120 feet (36.5 metres) long and produces an annual crop of 500 to 700 bunches of grapes weighing 500-700 lbs (220-320 kg).

Often recognised as the easiest of greenhouse grapes it is a reliable and strong-growing variety that produces a consistently good quality crop of delicious black dessert grapes. In Italy, where it is known as Schiava, it is used for making wines - and this is something we have done with our own crop, producing a delicate rosé wine.

Up until recently it was recommended this variety was only grown under protection in the UK. As our climate warms, this variety will now perform and ripen most years when grown outside in the more Southern Counties of the UK. For those further up the Country we would continue to recommend growing under protection (greenhouse, polytunnel or conservatory).

• Originally from Germany.
• Mid-season fruit ripening.
• Recommended for protected growing only in in more Northern parts of the UK.
• Can be trained by spur pruning.
• Self fertile.
• Fruit contains seeds.
