Unique Features: The Canadice grape variety originated in New York and was released in 1977. Its genetics are primarily from the North American native Fox grape, but grape genetics are complicated so it is sometimes listed as ‘x vinifera’, wine grape. Grape vines are self-fertile but yields are higher with multiple vines of either the same or different varieties. The dark pink to red grapes are small to medium sized, about ¾”, seedless, and held in 6” to 8” narrow clusters with each vine producing about 40 clusters. Canadice is usually considered a table grape having a sweet spicy taste with some of the earthy muskiness of the Fox grapes. The fruit is usually ripe by mid to late August but holds its flavor well on the vine and harvesting can be through mid to late September. Pruning in the late winter, February to March, is best and the more you prune the higher the yields next season.
