With a rich distinctive flavor, the deep-purple berries of this long-time favorite American grape can be used for eating, juicing, jelly or wine. S/M
Concord Grape is one of the most well-known varieties. Space plants 8' – 10' apart on a strong arbor or trellis. It is self-pollinating, seeded purple grape with amazingly sweet fruit for eating fresh, jelly and juice. Prune in fall or winter to help with air circulation. It is named after Concord, MA where it was developed in 1849. Vines may need to be treated for downy mildew in the spring.
