Himrod Seedless Grape Vine

Yes if you get them early in the season. I know what you mean about the grape leaves - but they do have to be the early season leaves. late season leaves get tough and thick.

This is also known as a "fox grape" and is a native American grape developed by Cornell. Fox grapes are naturally resistant to powdery and downy mildews.

Yes. Make your cuttings with 4 buds each and either store in plastic bags in refer or plant straight into the pots. I do this almost every year just so that I can give plants to friends. Use only compost or well draining potting soil in your pots and put the pots in a shaded area, maybe getting 3 hours of morning sun.

Hi, according to the Stark Bros website Himrods grow best in the 5-8 Hardiness zones. According to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone chart it looks like Central Florida is between 8.5-10 on the chart. I am not an expert but I would hesitate to attempt to grow Himrods in Central Florida. I am from CT and have had good luck with this variety. The vines began to bear a lot fruit on the third year however they all fell off the vine before reaching maturity. Probably something I did or didn't do I'm sure as I am a novice. Hoping for success this summer! Good luck and my suggestion is to check the hardiness zome of the plants prior to purchasing.

I prune mine by spur, I prune all my grapes that way, because I find it easier. Himrod is not doing well in my zone 5a, northern Illinois. It often dies back to the ground in winter. I will probably replace it with a hardier grape.

We are no longer offering this product; we keep the information on the website for the benefit of customers who have purchased it in the past. We usually discontinue a variety because we've discovered another variety that produces better fruit, is more disease resistant, cold-hardy, etc.

You're in Zone 8b. This grape should do well in your area.

Given the time of year, and especially if you noticed any spots on the leaves earlier on in spring, it's more than likely a fungal issue called black rot. It can be easily controlled going forward with a copper-based fungal spray, like Bonide® Copper Fungicide. To avoid re-contamination, be sure to remove and destroy any debris (leaves, fruit, etc.) from the growing site.
