Specials
This page contains vines that have been grown - and in many cases harvested - but are now surplus to requirements due to ‘permanent reorganisations’ as a result of new trials. Note that when lifting mature vines there is always a risk of root damage; typically a whole root will pull off the stem but this should not cause a failure. It is prudent to allow a mature vine one year’s growth in its new position before taking a crop. Plants are soaked overnight to reduce the risk of drying out during shipment but on receipt should be soaked again and planted or at least heeled-in and watered as soon as possible.
