Thank you for your reply. The plant arrived today, looking so very healthy. Thank you so much for sending it so safely! It will be planted in my daughters herb bed, which is part of my wedding present to her and husband. As they love food, they will be thrilled with this beautiful,
architectural, fruit producing plant! Thanks again.

Supplied as a containerised vine grafted on S04 rootstock approximately 2 feet (60 cm) tall including pot.
This Product is Available Now.Bred in Switzerland in the late 1990s, and released for planting in 2013, Divico is attracting a lot of attention among UK growers looking for a grape that will produce a full-bodied red wine, reminiscent of a Pinot Noir. A cross between Gamaret (itself a cross between Gamay and Reichensteiner) and Bronner, Divico named for an ancient Gallic chieftain who led his people into battle against Julius Caesar. Naturally resistant to many fungal diseases, including mildew, powdery mildew and grey mould, Divico thrives in the humid UK climate, and is well suited to more northerly climes.
Divico flowers in early June, avoiding frosts and allowing for optimal pollination, and ripens late. It has an upright habit, meaning it can be easily trained. Its moderate yield means that crop-thinning is not necessary.
