Grape 'Black Hamburg'

Grape Black Hamburg is a strong growing cultivar with large lobed leaves and bunches of dark purple-red fruits in autumn. The grapes have thick skins and a sweet flavour and are often grown for wine making. However, they make an excellent table grape and are delicious fresh from the vine.

This variety crops outdoors in the UK only after long, hot summers, so is best grown in a polytunnel, greenhouse or conservatory for a reliable annual harvest. Grape Black Hamburg is a low maintenance grape vine that is easy to grow. It prefers a sunny, sheltered spot and thrives in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Protect new growth from frost and mulch annually in spring to help retain moisture in the soil.
