Grapes – Brambleberry Farm

Category: Grapes

Grapes are climbers and perform best when trained to a trellis and pruned heavily each year; otherwise the fruits succumb to various rots and mildews (unless you live in a drier climate). Some growers like to avoid building a trellis and train a grape vine onto a fruit tree (if you do this make sure you prune the grape back severely every year or it will overtake the tree; also prune off all tendrils each year or they will girdle the tree branches). Standard spacing is 8’ apart in row on a trellis. Best in spots with full-sun and plenty of airflow.

(Vitis spp.)

Full Sun to Part Shade. vigorous, disease resistant

Deep blue seeded grape. Really decent for eating fresh (in my opinion), but in most people’s opinion best for juice and jelly because of the large seeds and tart, strong flavor. Welch’s Grape Juice is made from Concord grapes. Vigorous, disease-resistant plant, great for slightly shady or neglected spots where other grapes could not perform. Likes hot summers and ripens late in the season–not for short season or cool summer areas. . .
