Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Vitis vinifera ‘Australian Small White Cluster’

‘No 5. – Australian Small White Cluster. Originated in the same manner as the last [Australian White Cluster]; hardy plant, but of much less vigorous growth than No. 4; may be planted at least as close as No.1 [Pineau Grise]; very small closely set bunches, very small berries, sweet; and yields very little wine, but of excellent quality.’ [Maro p.22/1844].
