These grapes are ideal for a more wild, natural garden. They sprawl beautifully and seem very drought-tolerant once established. We’ve had our first small harvest and they were great in a rustic jam.
I was impressed with the germination rate—about 80% came up after cold stratification. The seedlings are now thriving in raised beds, and I plan to transplant next spring.
I planted these along my back fence to attract birds and wildlife. They’re doing really well with almost no attention. The grapes aren’t huge, but they’re tasty once fully ripe.
Took a little patience to get going, but now the vine is thriving. The grapes are more tart than store-bought types, but we like them for old-fashioned preserves.
I was looking for something native and low-maintenance, and this was a great fit. These grapes are vigorous and blend beautifully with wild areas. Birds love them too!
