Unique Features: This is the original, chosen in 1849 from 22,000 seedlings, and the original vine is still alive. In 1869 Dr. Welch began producing pasteurized grape juice, and the rest is history. Concord grapes, named for their point of origin in Concord, Massachusetts, are self-fertile and will produce fruit from a single vine. Concord is a variety of the native Fox grape but its genetic makeup is about 1/3 vinifera (European) heritage.  Ripening in late September the medium to large fruit, ¾”, is blue-black slip skinned with green black flesh.  The grapes are aromatic with a very sweet and musky flavor.  Besides fresh eating the fruit is great for juices, jellies, pies and (sweet) wines. The Seeded Concord grape has exceptional vigor and disease resistance. Grapes will need something to grow such as a sturdy trellis or fence.
