Why did you choose this?

I am hoping to enjoy these seedless grapes.

I liked that they were seedless and sweet. I thought my granddaughters would enjoy them

recommended for sweetness and crisp

I like that it is an early ripening seedless green grape that is sweeter than a Thompson seedless.

can you plant grape vines in containers?

Because the root systems on the grape vines that I am familiar with (Concord
and Lakemont) are so large and extensive, I think it would be difficult to do
so, but it may be possible. When I planted my grapes, I planted the roots
extending for about 2 feet in both directions (left and right) of the stem.
You may also have difficulty keeping the roots from freezing in winter,
if you plant in a container in a northern climate.

Can all these grapes be shipped to Washington state ?

Unfortunately this happens to be a product that has state or county agricultural regulations, which prohibit shipment. Sometimes there are local/regional quarantines put in place to halt the spread of certain plant diseases, which does not happen often. While these regulations may change in the near future, we apologize that we cannot ship this item to you at the present time.

I'm having trouble finding Thompson grapes. Can you use the leaves in stuffed grape leaves? do the grapes taste like Thompson grapes?

We don't have a grape available similar to the Thompson at this time. The Thompson is a green seedless grape and I would assume the Neptune, Marquis or Lakemont would be similar.

There is a lot of contradicting info regarding edible grape leaves and we do not have an opinion or facts on this topic. We recommend that you do your own research before making a decision on eating the leaves from any plant or not.

Will a traditional arbor work for growing grapes?

Yes. I have mine on a traditional grape arbor and it is doing well.

Are wasps a problem with this Lakemont variety?

Wasps are not only a nuisance and safety hazard during harvest. They also feed on ripe fruit, leading to bunch rots and unusable clusters.

How old are the bare root grapes ?

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.

Are the leaves edible, for making Mediterranean stuffed grape leaves?

Why not? They're all edible, if you don't spray them for bugs. I personally prefer sour cabbage leaves to grape leaves for making stuffed cabbage rolls. They taste better than dolmades.

When do I know they are ripe for picking ?

Several factors will help you determine if it is time to harvest your grapes:

Color change, seed changes from green to brown
Slightly less firm to the touch
Birds on the vines
Taste is the most reliable factor for homeowners; if sweet and flavorful they’re ripe
Use a pair of sharp well-oiled easy to use shears. Gentle pull the clusters away from the vine and clip with the shears. Keep grapes out of direct sunlight.

Life span of healthy vines ?

I have only had my vines for a year or so, which doesn't tell me much about lifespan. But they are healthy. This winter got cold. down to minus 20. I can tell about hardiness this spring when they come to life, if they do.

Are these 2nd year growth plants?

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.

Looked DOA
It looked very unprepossessing out of the box and I was afraid I had ordered too late in the season (tail end of May) for it to grow, but I followed the directions, planted it right away and watered and it has grown beautifully this summer. And it looks better than the much more expensive potted grape I bought locally a year prior. Time will tell!
