A raisin is a dried grape, seedless raisins
are produced from seedless grapes.
Most grapes if dried
will produce a raisin.
Certain grape varieties
are preferred for raisin production.
Trees That Please
Nursery propagates two grape varieties
that produce very good tasting grapes.
Himrod Grape
Himrod Seedless produces medium sized sweet golden
yellow grapes that make excellent raisins. Himrod is an American Grape variety
that also makes very good juice.
Himrod is self-fruitful and is Hardy to USDA
Zone 5.
Red Flame Grape
Red Flame Seedless produces medium to large
light red sweet grapes.
Photo below shows Red Flame and Himrod Grapes.
This variety is commonly found in grocery stores during
summer. Red Flame is an European Grape variety that is also used for raisin
production.
Red Flame is Hardy to USDA Zone 7 and is also self-fruitful.
Consider a grape (raisin) vine for your next production
crop
as they can be eaten fresh or as a dried fruit!
Grapes are
easy to grow but need some sort of support for the long vines. Grapes are
drought tolerant but produce the best grapes when given regular water. Grapes
must also be pruned annually for best production.
Grape Vines Can Be Planted Now As Long Your Ground Is Not Frozen!
