The Highlights
- The best-known heritage black grape for growing under glass
- A reliable grapevine, producing large bunches of sweet juicy grapes with delicious flavour
- Suitable for eating or for wine-making
- A Black Hamburgh vine was famously planted by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown at Hampton Court Palace in 1768, still producing an annual crop more than 230 years later
- Can be grown in a large pot or greenhouse bed
- While Black Hamburgh can be grown outside in warm areas, the fruit won't ripen until late October so it may be damaged by an early frost
