Family:  Vitaceae
Author:

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:     Mature Width:

Habitat:  Not known

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a deep rich moist well-drained moderately fertile loam[1, 200]. Grows best in a calcareous soil[200]. Succeeds in sun or partial shade though a warm sunny position is required for the fruit to ripen[200]. The young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. Plants climb by means of tendrils[182]. Any pruning should be carried out in winter when the plants are dormant otherwise they bleed profusely[182, 200]. Plants growing at Kew bear a good crop in most years. The fruits and the bunches are quite small but the flavour is good but the fruit is very seedy[K]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200]. This is probably a cultivar, we need to research further.
