Fruit retains the rich flavor of Concord and the light sweetness of Thompson. Vines are heat-tolerant. While some seed development is attributed to cross-pollination by seeded grapes, this is not so likely.
Dig the hole. Assess the size of the vine's root system and dig a hole approximately twice as large. Place the grapevine in the hole, spreading out the roots, and back-fill with soil until the hole is three-quarters full. Water to settle the soil. Finish filling with soil and water again. Prune after planting. Cut back the plant to two buds. These should be encouraged to grow in opposite directions along the trellis. Water as needed. The support should be in place before planting, or very soon after.

They're low in fat, calories, and are cholesterol-free, so there's no guilt when you're snacking on grapes! Seeded grapes and seedless grapes can both be grown at home, but growing seedless grapes is more popular for how easy they are to grow as well as harvest and snack on.
