I’ve cleared a tree in my yard and have a bit more space to perhaps grow some grapes. I live in zone 5a in southern wisconsin.
I’d like to have seedless eating grapes, but i might consider wine grapes. I bought a few a couple of years ago from a hardware store that were supposed to be seedless, but I was duped. Plus they were smallish. They weren’t much bigger and almost as seedy as the wild grapes we have growing around here.
So, I’m a bit more cautious and thought I’d ask for a more expert opinion.
Can you suggest a grape variety that I should consider and maybe a place I can purchase them from?
Seedless, Sweet and big are preferred (like my women :D) pretty much in that order, though I would consider other varieties.
I don’t know what they are called, but when I was a kid growing up one of my mom’s friends and these tiny little green seedless grapes that grew in tight clusters, were REALLY sweet, soft and gushy, and I could eat those by the thousands. If you can find out what they are, and if they’ll grow in your climate, you MUST get them. They are beyond incredible.
It’s Frontignan or Frontignac, and it’s an ancient French variety, more properly known as Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. Very nice table or wine grape, delicious sweet summery muscat.
Actually, the spelling is Frontenac. Named not only for it’s heritage but after a region of MN as well. There is also a Frontenac Gris grape, but I have not tasted it.
