Black hamburg should fit the bill

I'll give a thumbs up to Black Hamburg too.  I'm just west of Edinburgh and have had one in my 6 x8ft leantoo G/H for ~20years.  This year I had 20 bunches on it so if you give it the space of  P/T, you'll get a lot of fruit.

I've got several cuttings from last year's pruning in leaf and root if you want to take a chance on the postal service - I could look for a tube and with plenty of damp kitchen roll round the root, it should travel OK.  Somewhere I also have reasonably extensive growing instructions.

I think I would look to having a wooden frame of some sort for it.   I would also think about water source and possibly plant it near the wall so that the root can go outside - that and the wooden frame position may not be compatible, but I will leave you to think about that.  There may well be others who have vine / PT experience.

Well I tried to send you a personal message but the "system" wouldn't allow me to. Are you able to contact me by PM with an email address please?

i'd be interested in a black hamburg vine if there were any to spare, tia.

Hi Rob

I've removed your attempt at a coded e-mail address 

BUT I have made it so that you can send and receive PMs (even though you have less than 10 posts).

Hope that helps you

I've sent a PM with my details, tia

Hi Ambodach,

I'm in West Yorkshire and make wine. If you have any root cuttings left, may I please have one of each and I'd love to send you some of my blackberry wine!

I'm a newbie and so don't have pm just yet, but I'm sure Admin might be kind enough to arrange something if you are agreeable.

Also, should your crop fail in the future, I will post you root cuttings without delay so providing a little insurance for you.

Many thanks.
