Use and Care Manual

Is it really true - only wineries can grow grapes? Of course

not! They can be grown by anyone and are one of the most

widely produced fruits in the world. There are however,

many different types of grapes with some more suitable in

the home garden than others. Grape vines like humus-rich,

medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun. The more sun

the sweeter the fruit. Not picky of soil conditions, but best

sited in a sheltered location away from winter winds. The

variety is self-pollinating.

About This Variety: Vitis Labrusca concord, commonly known as a fox grape, produces yellowish-greenish flowers in June which have a sweet musky fragrance. They give way to medium-sized, blue-black, edible grapes which ripen to dark purple mid season. Distinctive sweet to sweet-tart flavor. Growing Instructions: Plant dormant, bare-root grape vines in the early spring. Construct a trellis, or framework so you can train the vines to grow upon it. Before planting sock the roots in water for 2 hours.
