| Description | A vigorous deciduous vine with bold-textured, deep green foliage, grown for its large bunches of classic, small, sweet, mild-flavored, green grapes. A good mid-season table grape. This vigorous, twining vine works well as a screen for arbors or trailing along fences. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for fruit and foliage. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Fall Color, Showy Fruit, Waterwise, Edible, Fast Growing, Benefits Birds |
| Growth Rate | Fast |
| Growth Habit | Climbing |
| Landscape Use | Espalier, Privacy Screen |
| Design Ideas | Grow this grape over a shade arbor and let the fruit dangle. Drape over an arbor gate and along the top of fences to provide plenty of sunlight. Create wire and post grape vine treillage in the vineyard style for a larger plant and crop. |
| Flower Color | Green |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Foliage Fall Color | Red |
| Companion Plants | Blackberry (Rubus); Lavender (Lavandula); Rosemary (Rosmarinus); Rose (Rosa); Fig (Ficus) |
| Care Instructions | Easily grown in deep, loamy, humus-rich, well-drained soil, but quite adaptable. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; reduce frequency, once established. Feed with an organic fertilizer from spring to midsummer. Provide sturdy trellis or arbor support. Prune annually to control size. |
| History | This genus, named by Linnaeus from the Latin for life, vitae, because of its connection to wine, the most important beverage of the ancient world. It's generally accepted that the grape originated in Asia Minor, probably around Turkey from a wild plant that produced much smaller fruit. Over time vines were selected for larger fruit suited to both wine making and table grapes. It was not until 1900 in California that the first seedless table grape was developed by W. Thompson. |
| Lore | The grape was a primarily agricultural crop of the Romans who refined the art of wine making by collecting cultivars from its Empire to develop improved vineyard varieties. |
