Bare Root Table Grapes

Grapes come in red, purple, rose, green and gold, large and small, round and elongated. Grape vines grace walls and arbors and their leaves lend drama and fall color to the landscape. Choose a grape variety for your climate and particular purpose.

The table grapes we carry are either European, American or hybrids of the two. The American and hybrid varieties are the most cold hardy. Excellent table grapes, most of these are also suitable for juice, jelly, raisins and wine. The seeded varieties such as Golden Muscat and Niagara have distinct flavors and are often used in wine making.

Most of the European varieties we offer are seedless. Black Monukka, with large purplish black fruit, is the hardiest of these. Two of the most commonly grown grapes, Thompson Seedless and Flame, require hot summers to ripen. Try Perlette and Ruby if you live in a cooler summer area.

In order to produce high quality fruit, it’s important to learn the proper pruning techniques. We suggest consulting a book on pruning or, if you’re lucky enough to find one, a local authority. The Sunset Western Garden Book has some very good tips and illustrations for grape pruning.

  Powdery mildew is a fungal disease which generally affects European types. Sulfur dust is the recommended control. Apply when the shoots are 6” long, again when 12” and then every two weeks until harvest. Grapes are a refreshing snack or dessert with lots of health benefits.

Growing your own grapes allows you to harvest an organic crop, which is often much tastier than the inflated grapes found in the supermarket.
