Grape - Brianna

Can be used for wine making and also beautiful as a table grape, delicious eaten fresh. Berries are greenish gold to gold when fully ripe in early to mid September. This grape tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but must have good drainage. Birds love grapes, so be sure to plant some to share. Grapes need full sunlight and high temperatures to ripen, so plant on southern slopes, the south side of windbreaks, or the south sides of buildings. Grapes are primarily grown for fruit production in home fruit gardens where they provide good ornamental value: bold summer foliage, showy fruit, some fall color and shaggy, twisted trunking and branching often best seen in winter. Grapes need a good support system like fences, walls, trellises, arbors or other structures. The grape vines can be quite attractive year-round and can provide good cover, screening, or shade to areas around the home. This grape makes a very nice semi-sweet table wine with a honey-apricot-peach taste. Matures in Minnesota in the 1st week of September.
