I struggled to get the cuttings to grow when I returned to the UK in April 2007, and they didn't really get moving until the autumn. They were, seemingly, stuck on Southern Hemisphere time. I am not quite sure how I got them through the winter in leaf - south-facing window, reflective foil - but they made it. The original budwood has now given me a couple of vines, and with flowering close, I have successfully chip-budded them onto a few ailing rows of Pinot Gris.
