The grape vine is a vigorous deciduous climber with graceful, palmate leaves and curling tendrils that cling to support structures. In summer clusters of white or blue grapes appear, depending on the cultivar. The foliage turns beautifully red to purple in autumn. Unrivalled both as a fruit plant and as a decorative pergola cover.

Ficus carica

Common Fig

Given a warm, sheltered position, the tree produces sweet, juicy figs from summer to autumn. Surprisingly hardy with protection.
