Grapevine

Description The perfect gift for wine-lovers, this beautifully wrapped grapevine will produce bunches of sweet, ruby-red grapes every autumn. Fresh leaves and clusters of tiny, pale green flowers appear in spring. The vine will happily flourish in a sunny, sheltered garden, a cool conservatory or greenhouse.  This Grapevine is deciduous, so will naturally shed its stalks, tendrils and leaves every autumn. In winter it is pruned to 15-20cm while in its dormant phase. A mass of new leaves and tendrils will vigorously grow in late spring and all summer. You can read more about deciduous trees and plants here. You can upgrade your gift to a gorgeous hamper at checkout. Your tree gift will arrive with everything it needs to flourish. Details+ Every vine is organically nurtured in The Present Tree's gardens so when you place your order, a beautiful grapevine, botanical name: Vitis vinifera 'Black Muscat' will be freshly selected by our devoted gardeners here, before being wrapped and placed in its luxury parcel. This grapevine is 35-45cm high, it will grow up to 1m during the summer months and may reach a height of 4 metres in 5 years, if allowed to grow naturally.  A card with your personal message, the story of your vine’s ancient symbolism and a full care guide is also enclosed with your gift. Add a personalised brass heart, star or plaque (see images) engraved with your message so this special gift is always remembered.  PLEASE NOTE Your parcel travels in a clear recyclable bag so the couriers and recipients are aware a living tree is inside it and must be opened as soon as possible. Symbolism In ancient mythology the Grapevine symbolises generosity, faith and kindness. Vine Care Your grapevine is growing in its organic pot filled with top-notch compost, so no green fingers are required, just natural daylight and water. We never use harmful chemicals or pesticides, just a special blend of organic oils so every grapevine is super healthy. We have added special nutrients to your grapevine’s compost to create the perfect balance of nourishment. This organic goodness will release into the soil to ensure your vine continues to flourish. In a few weeks, plant your grapevine, still in its organic pot so the roots are not disturbed, in a large flower pot (one with holes for drainage) or in a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden. It will appreciate a wall or fence for support as it grows. The Present Tree's Organic Plant Care is packed with all the health-boosting goodness suitable for your Grapevine.
