Vitis ‘Canadice’ (Fox Grape)

Vitis ‘Canadice’ is a seedless labrusca grape variety boasting compact clusters of small red grapes in late summer. Firm and sweet, the grapes are juicy, with a touch of spiciness, and perfect for fresh eating, jams and jellies. A deciduous shrub with large, three-lobed green leaves, ‘Canadice’ is self-pollinating, productive and more winter hardy than most seedless grapes. Easy to grow, Grape vines not only reward you with large crops of delicious fruits, they are also very decorative, providing a handsome leafy cover that clothes arbors, fences or trellises beautifully.

• Grows up to 15-20 ft. tall and wide (450-600 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in well-drained soils. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, including sand or clay, but good drainage is essential. Best sited in a location sheltered from winter winds (preferably a sunny south-facing slope) and well removed from frost pockets. Needs good air circulation.
• Grape vines require sturdy support for their twining stems such as pergolas, walls or fences. Perfect in cottage gardens or Mediterranean gardens.
• May be affected by powdery mildew and botrytis
