Catawba Grapes - 1 Plant

Catawba Grapes - 1 Plant
Is it really true that only wineries can grow grapes? Of course not! They can be grown by anyone and, in fact, are one of the most widely produced fruits in the world. There are, however, many different types of grapes with some more suitable in the home garden than others. Grape vines like humus-rich, medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun. The more sun, the sweeter the fruit. This concord grape is not picky of soil conditions, but best sited in a sheltered location away from winter winds. The Catawba variety is a self-pollinating American grape that produces copper red berries. Greenish flowers appear in spring, giving way to grapes later in the season. This grape is often used for wines (blush and rose), champagnes, jams and juices.
