The Vitis vinifera 'Black Hamburgh' (also known as 'Schiava Grossa' or 'Trollinger') is a historic and highly esteemed grapevine variety. Here are some key points and tips for growing this vine:
Description:
Fruit Characteristics: The grapevine produces large, dark red/purple berries that are juicy, sweet, and flavorful, suitable for both eating fresh and making wine.
Ripening Time: The fruit typically ripens late, around October, which might make it susceptible to damage from early frosts.
Growing Ease: Known for its reliability, strong growth habit, and suitability for beginners due to its relatively easy cultivation.
Historical Significance:
Origin: Originally from Germany.
Great Vine at Hampton Court Palace: Planted by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1768 at Hampton Court Palace. The Great Vine is now over 36 meters long and continues to yield an impressive annual crop of grapes, often around 600-700 bunches.
Growing Tips for Indoor Cultivation:
Best Environment: Ideally grown indoors in an unheated greenhouse.
Winter Care: Place potted vines outdoors during winter to expose them to sufficient cold temperatures.
Watering: Maintain frequent watering during the growing season.
Fertilization: Feed the vine with high-potash liquid fertilizer once growth begins.
Pollination: Dry atmospheres are beneficial for pollination. You can aid pollination by gently shaking the branches.
Additional Considerations:
Climate: While it can ripen in a cold greenhouse, providing additional heat in cooler areas may aid in better fruit development.
Frost Protection: Be cautious of early frosts, as they can potentially damage the late-ripening fruit.
By following these growing tips and considering the historical significance and characteristics of the Vitis vinifera 'Black Hamburgh,' you can cultivate a successful and fruitful grapevine.
