Product description
This is a fantastic, fast-growing vine that reliably yields large, heavy clusters of delicious, seedless golden-green grapes. Home gardeners highly prize it for its sweet flavour, lack of annoying seeds, and impressive vigour. It is a heavy producer that will quickly scramble over any structure it is given.
To care for 'Himrod', plant it in full sun and perfectly drained loamy or sandy soil. Because it is such a heavy producer, you will often need to "thin" the fruit—snipping out some of the tiny, developing grapes with scissors in midsummer so the remaining ones have the space to swell into large, sweet berries. Tie its curling tendrils into your wire system and execute a strict winter pruning routine.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
The Vitis Himrod produces wonderful seedless green grapes. To get the best quality, thin out the fruit bunches in midsummer (snipping out some of the tiny grapes) so the remaining ones grow much larger and sweeter.
How to Water
To water Vitis Himrod, soak deeply every ten days in year one to drive roots down. Once mature, let the soil dry out, but maintain moisture when its seedless grapes swell. Always water the soil, not the leaves.
How to Plant
To plant Vitis Himrod, dig a hole twice as wide as the rootball but exactly the same depth. Incorporate plenty of horticultural grit into the excavated soil to guarantee the rapid drainage this vine demands. Position the plant so the top of the rootball is flush with the soil surface. Backfill firmly, point the growing tips toward your support structure, and water deeply to eliminate underground air pockets.
