Niagara Table Grape
With its sweet, aromatic flavor, Niagara Table Grape is a popular choice for fresh eating, wine and jam. It’s also the go-to grape for the commercial grape juice industry. The large full clusters of medium to large green-gold grapes ripen midseason. A hardy cross between Cassady and Concord grapes, Niagara vines can produce fruit for up to 20 years and grow vigorously, working well as a screen for arbors or trailing along fences. Bears best when pruned well. Susceptible to powdery mildew in climates with warm, wet spring weather.
