Table Grape (Vitis labrusca)

    Exposure: Full sun to light shade. Zone 3.
Soil: Average, well-drained garden soil. pH tolerant. Drought tolerant once established.
Growth Habits: Table grapes are climbing or creeping vines with large leaves that produce large clusters of thin-skinned grapes in late summer. Their late blooms generally avoid late spring frosts. Prune annually for best fruit production.
Landscape Uses: Trellises, arbors, fences, or grape trellises in the home landscape. Our easy-to-grow varieties are suitable for home or commercial vineyards.
Usefulness: Table grape sweet, juicy, thin-skinned fruit has many of the same nutritional and medicinal qualities as do muscadine grapes, but in lower concentrations. Leaves are edible. Use for fresh eating, juices, wines, or fruit jellies or preserves.
