Description
Table grapes are specially bred wine vines for fresh consumption, producing large, aromatic, often seedless berries. Robust, fungus‑resistant varieties such as Lakemont (seedless, light) or Vanessa (red) thrive even in harsh climates on a warm wall. They are low‑maintenance and a pleasure straight from the vine.
Care instructions
Plant the table grape on a sunny, sheltered south‑facing wall with loose, well‑drained soil and train it on a wire trellis. Prune it consistently in late winter (February week 8) and in summer remove leaves around the grapes to allow sun and air. Harvest from September (week 38) when the berries are sweet and fully colored.
