Grape Vine 'Supaga'

• Dessert grape
• Bred to perform well in colder climates
• Produces sweet white grapes with hints of pineapple.

This robust Latvian variety is tailor-made for UK gardeners. Supaga' delivers large bunches of light green, succulent grapes perfect for fresh eating or winemaking, with an early ripening season.

Choose a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil; a south-facing wall is ideal. Water when conditions are dry and apply potassium-rich feed from late spring. Remove flowers during years one and two, allowing grapes to develop steadily from year three. Summer pruning of side shoots and winter reduction of the main stem keeps your vine in check. '

Beyond the harvest, the vigorous foliage creates wonderful garden coverage on trellises or pergolas, offering shade, privacy, and striking autumn tones. As a trained cordon it reaches 1.8m, or up to 8m if left to grow freely. You'll see cropping within two years, with optimal yields by year three.
