Grapevines

Potted Grapevines

We grow and sell potted Concord Grapevines, Mars Grapevines, and Niagara Grapevines. We chose to grow and sell this variety of grapevines mainly because together they produce delicious grapes in early, middle, and late spring and grow well in the Chester County Pennsylvania area. All of our grapevines are started from cuttings off our grapevines growing on our property.

A potted grapevine can be transplanted into the ground almost any time of the year since their root system is barely disturbed with little or no stress when transplanted from a pot.

A grapevine looks somewhat like a bush, and therefore is frequently referred to as a "bush vine". A grapevine is considered a climbing shrub or a woody vine. While it can grow quite long and climb structures, it is essentially a woody plant with a multi-stemmed growth habit, similar to a shrub. The term "vine" is used to describe its climbing growth habit.

Grapes offer various benefits, including improving heart health, potentially preventing cancer, boosting eye health, and enhancing brain function. Grapes also contribute to better sleep, bone health, and skin beauty, while supporting the immune system. Grapes are also beneficial for managing diabetes and lowering blood pressure.

How To Enjoy Grapes: Eat them fresh with yogurt or cereal, blend them into smoothies, add them to salads and desserts, and make grape jam or preserves. Choose organic grapes whenever possible to minimize pesticide and othe chemical exposure.

Grow an abundance of grapes and freeze plenty to enjoy throughout the year. It is easy to freeze grapes and they are just as tasty and beneficial as freshly picked grapes.

'Concord' Grapevine (Vitis labrusca 'Concord') (not seedless grapes)

Concord Grapes

The Concord grapevine is a woody plant that produces a classic American grape variety known for its large, deep purple, and flavorful grapes. It is a vigorous and hardy vine widely farmed to produce grapes used in juice, jelly, jam, and wine products.

Concord grapes are large, round, and blue-black with a bluish bloom. They are characterized by a slip skin, meaning the skin easily separates from the flesh. Concord grapes have a distinctive, slightly tangy flavor that is both sweet and rich. They are primarily used for making grape juice, jelly, jam, and wine, as well as being enjoyed fresh as a snack.

Concord grapevines are vigorous and can grow quickly. They need full sun and well-drained soil and are cold-hardy. Concord vines require support, such as a trellis or fence, to climb and grow. While Concord vines are self-fertile, planting multiple vines can increase the yield of fruit. Concord vines are known for their vigorous growth and high yields and are generally resistant to common grape diseases.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, spacing vines 6-10 feet apart. Prune the vines to a single stem with 4 buds at planting time. Train the vines on a support structure, such as a trellis or arbor. Mulch the base of the vines to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually in late fall for the first three years to help the vine get established.

'Mars' Grapevine (Vitis labrusca 'Mars') (seedless grapes)

Mars Grapes

The Mars grapevine is a woody plant. The "Mars Seedless" variety, is a vigorous, dark blue or purple skin seedless grape that is known for its sweet, juicy flavor and resistance to diseases. The grapes are slipskin, meaning the skin easily separates from the flesh, and they are similar to Concord grapes in taste but are more disease-resistant to diseases like powdery mildew and black rot.

The Mars grapevines thrive in hot summer climates, the vines are vigorous and productive, with medium-sized, well-filled clusters and are relatively easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. Mars grapes ripen early, typically in late July and are cold-hardy. The grapes can be eaten fresh, used in jellies, or made into grape juice.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, spacing vines 6-10 feet apart. Prune the vines to a single stem with 4 buds at planting time. Train the vines on a support structure, such as a trellis or arbor. Mulch the base of the vines to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually in late fall for the first three years to help the vine get established.

'Niagara' Grapevine (Vitis labrusca 'Niagara') (seedless grapes)

Niagara Grapes

A Niagara grapevine is a woody plant, specifically a variety of the labrusca grape with three-lobed leaves and produces large, juicy, bunches of greenish-white seedless grapes typically found in your grocery store. Niagara grapes are well-known for their sweet and tangy flavor, and are commonly used in white grape juice, fresh eating, and for making jams, jellies, and wines.

They are vigorous, productive vines that thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They are self-pollinating, meaning they can produce fruit without the need for another vine and are known for their good cold hardiness.
