Title: Help! What's happening to my vine??
Post by: Karen Atkinson on May 13, 2011, 19:08:09
The ends of the new growth seemed to have died back...it's a very old inherited one and the roots would go deep so i would be surprised if it's on account of lack of water. It's in the greenhouse. Produced fruit last year fine.

Most likely to be Dieback, so cut it back into good wood. Without pics though it`s hard to be sure. ;D

Mine has done exactly the same thing. I can't believe it is too much heat or lack of water. It did the same thing last year too.
