Grapes
Table and Wine grapes that are suitable for cool summer climates.
Grapes can be shipped February through early May, and again in October. They are available for pickup at the nursery February through late November.
Grape Rootstock
Own root grapes have the advantage of being able to regrow after severe winter damage. Grapes grown on their own roots are more vigorous than grafted grapes, and often take longer to ripen. Most wine grapes should be grafted to take advantage of the shorter ripening times.
- 101-14 Rootstock prefers heavy soils, has moderate drought tolerance and relatively high tolerance for wet feet.
- 3309 Rootstock prefers deep, well drained soils, has low drought tolerance and relatively high tolerance for wet feet.
- Riparia Gloire Rootstock prefers deep, fertile soils, with low drought tolerance and relatively high tolerance for wet feet. The lowest vigor rootstock, giving the most compact vines.
- With a 5' by 8' spacing, you can plant 960 vines per acre
- With a home (basket style) wine press, 20-21 lbs yield one gallon of juice (white wine varieties)
- You can expect 3-4 tons per acre in the maritime NW; that equals 6.25-8.3 lbs per plant
