Grape vine
I have inherited a pot grown grape vine its about 3ft tall, the label says it is a non-flowering variety. However it now has individual pale mauve flowers. What do you think the chances are that we may have grapes? The label says it will fruit from August to October but with the appearance of the flowers (which apparently shouldn't be there) I am sceptical. Does anyone know about a non-flowering Vitis?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i doubt you'll get any grapes this year whatever variety it is. ours is full of little bunches of them, they're usually fully ripe by the end of october. if yours is only just flowering it's maybe a bit late for fruit. funny that it's a non-flowering variety, wonder how the fruits will form if there are no flowers?? maybe there's an expert out there who knows..
The label just says "Vitis" with a picture of a bunch of grapes. Then there is this message. "This vitis can be placed in the sun. Does not flower. Deciduous. Bears fruit from August to October. Edible from August to October."
I have no idea how old it is or of course whether it has ever fruited before.
Thanks for the interest.
