Does anyone on here grow Boskoop Glory, and if they do, would they be able to take a photo of the leaves and fruit?
I know there are nominally lots of pictures online, but it's hard to be sure which are truly pictures of Boskoop Glory and which are just generic black grape vine pictures being used to sell Boskoop Glory (it's not like most people can tell one grape variety from the next, after all).
I ask this because I have a vine which is supposedly Boskoop glory, but I am increasing convinced that it actually is not. It doesn't seem to match up with pictures I've found online (hence my desire for definite photos to be sure), and most importantly it is supposed to be an early variety that will perform fairly reliably outdoors in the South of this country, yet it has so far failed to produce any ripe fruit for the last two years, and looks like it won't this year, either (despite this year being perfect: they flowered early, no late frosts, and a hot summer). It's not as though my allotment is unsuitable for growing black grapes, either, as I have another black grape variety (Muscat Bleu) which ripens fruit very reliably.
