Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An American type grape seedling found by the Bay in Emeryville. It is not commercially available & is usually only found at the California Rare Fruit Growers meetings. I grew it in my garden in Richmond & was amazed by the abundance & flavor of the grapes it has produced. Small, pink (with a small seed) & bursting with sweet grape flavor. Definitely a fine grape for the Bay Area, where grapes often don’t sweeten up well.
