Canadice Seedless Grape Vine

A 4 lateral system will work well. They are very adaptable; they look real nice when hanging from the vine. You will love them.

I tried to grow Canadice grapes on the Texas gulf coast. They lived for 3 years, then pierce's disease got them. The Victoria red grape is pierce's disease resistance. I have 20 of them planted from 2 years to 5 years and they are doing great.

Yes Canadice is a slipskin but the skin is very tender and edible. It's still considered a table grape. As far as other varieties it just depends on your growing zone

Well, I did. I want to train them upright, arbor style, and to spread and mix, and walk through the arbor way, reaching up and grabbing different ripe ones. I've got a good start!

Hi Tom. I myself grow Canadice, and it does well here in 7B, but as for your location, try you local extension service or find others who grow table grapes in your area. Finding grapes that grow well in your climate will be of great importance. I know I'm not really telling you much, but even though you may get many suggestions, it will pay off to research it well. The extension service would probably be your best bet to get started, as well as Stark's shows which varities grow well in your area. One thing to consider is that where you live, you want a late flowering varity, as well as one that will withstand your coldest temps in winter. I expect your growing season is a bit shorter there, so keep that in mind as well. Protection from late frosts/freezing may be something you would want to look into. Hope this helps. Happy growing

Hi Maura, You should see the vine starting to form the bunches soon. My candice vine is three years old and is blooming along with all of my other 3 year old vines. One vine bloomed with a single bunch last year but did not have enough pollen to fertilize. I am in NC so should be ahead of you in growing season. Your blooms should be there soon.

I spur prune all my table seedless grapes (except seedless Concord on an arbor). Best way to determine if your vines are spur/cane, just watch for where the blossoms develop. If close to the cordon - spur prune. If they grow farther out toward tip of cane - cane prune. That only means the fruit will grow closer from cordon or a little farther away. FYI - cane prune vines produce less when spur pruned. But I spur prune them all - it's easier maintenance. I keep all cordons at 24-30" and space spurs 4-6" apart. I also pinch off the bottom 1/3 of each cluster to get larger grapes. I have Canadice (red) Himrod (White) and Vanessa (red) and with my spur pruning I have more than enough grapes.

Hi,
I set up my small vineyard with a Modified Munson trellis system, with the Candadice and other varieties pruned to a a head-cane configuration, with two canes running out in on the top wire in each direction, four in all and limited to 12 - 14 buds per cane. the shoots grow out to the outer wires and drape over them to the aisle. In my area, Canadice is moderately vigorous and this system works well for this and other varieties with good sun exposure and air circulation.

That I honestly can't answer because I live on top of a mountain and get full sun all day long, but I do know that they will grow in partly shaded areas, even up trees.
I purchased 2yr old plants which are baring this year and I am totally satisfied with them .

Sorry I couldn't help you.

Thank you for your question. The age and size information for our grapes is as follows: 4” pot: 6-12 months old and 4” tall bare root: 1 year old and 12-18” tall. Our grapes will typically take 2-3 years after planting to reach maturity and bear fruit.
