Darlene Muscadine

Vitis rotundifolia -Full Sun to Part Shade–  1 1/4″ bronze seeded fruit. One of the sweetest and best flavored muscadines for fresh eating. Very vigorous, super disease resistant. Female variety needs self-fertile for pollination

Quart pots $8, Gallon* pots $16

North American native plant,   

Muscadine grapes are native to the Southeast US. They love hot humid weather and don’t suffer from the diseases that plague european grapes. They are care free, super vigorous, have huge fruit, and are great for landscaping since the leaves stay glossy and attractive all summer long. So the downside… they tend to have thicker skins and seeds. The non-self-fertile female varieties have the best flavor (the others are good too), but need a self-fertile variety for pollination. Fruit is either black (dark purple) or bronze, and some sources say that you need a bronze self-fertile to pollinate a black female variety, and you need a black self-fertile to pollinate a bronze female variety. We are just on the northern edge of their range. We offer varieties that are bred for more cold hardiness and that have survived above the ground for us. These are large vigorous vines, so plant 15’ to 20’ apart

Fifty Five Hardy Kiwi

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade–  Earliest ripening variety. Requires male for polination. Zone 5-8

3″ pots $4, Quart pots $8, Gallon* pots $16

,   

Kiwis for the North!  Not as large as the fuzzy kiwifruit, but with smooth, edible skin, much sweeter, and unbelievable flavor!  Taste almost perfumed with floral qualities.  Vines are breathtakingly beautiful with bright green leaves and red stems.  Trellis these in the garden or on your house for an edible and beautiful vine.  Can take shade but will fruit best in half-day to full sun (prefers afternoon shade if possible).  Vines grow fast and become very tenacious once established (‘Issai’ is somewhat smaller).   Needs sturdy trellis.   Male and female plants needed for pollination (except for ‘Issai’ which is self-fertile) but only one male needed for 8 females (keep within 50′ of male).  Space 15′ apart on trellis.

Glenora Blue Seedless Table Grape

(Vitis spp.) -Full Sun–  vigorous with great flavor

Dark blue seedless table grape.  Large berries, high yield and full flavor.  Resistant to several major diseases and late to bud out in the spring, so less likely to get frosted.  Vigorous grower.  Fruit is slipskin, meaning it has a thicker skin and most folks squeeze the pulp out and throw the skin. I prefer to eat it all!

Light pink seedless table grape.  Incredibly flavorful and sweet with a wonderful floral quality to its fruit.   Hard to leave any for juice or jelly since you ate all of them fresh!  Very cold-hardy and resistant to black rot.   Vigorous grower, quick to establish.

Concord Blue Seeded Grape

(Vitis spp.) -Full Sun–  vigorous, disease resistant

Deep blue seeded grape.  Really decent for eating fresh (in my opinion), but in most people’s opinion best for juice and jelly because of the large seeds and tart, strong flavor.  Welch’s Grape Juice is made from Concord grapes.  Vigorous, disease-resistant plant, great for slightly shady or neglected spots where other grapes could not perform.  Likes hot summers and ripens late in the season–not for short season or cool summer areas.
