Table Grape Vine – Red Globe

• Variety: European
• Zones: 7-11
• Pruning: Spur Prune
• Harvest: September – October
• Fruit: Large (up to 1″ diameter or more), round, seeded table grape with crisp, ruby red skin. Mildly sweet and flavorful, not as tangy as Flame or as sweet as Thompson.
• Facts of note: Because the grapes are so big they can be frozen and used as ice cubes in fruit drinks. Very popular in Asia; most of the Red Globe Grapes produced in California and Australia are exported there. Excellent used as an ornamental, for summer shade, arbors or leafy walls.

European varieties are classed as having originated from the cultivar Vitis vinifera and have tight skins, wine-like flavors, high heat requirements for ripening, and are the most common grapes grown in California. Use fresh, dried, and for juices or wine. Susceptible to powdery mildew, they require regular dusting or spraying with sulfur or other mildew control. May grow successfully in very warm sites at lower elevations, and require deep, moderately fertile soils and regular pruning for high quality and production. Self-fertile.

Our vines are self-rooted from cuttings, 1-year-old plants, no.1 grade with about 8″ of top growth. Sold by individual bare root vine.
