Vitus labrusca ‘Niagara’
Niagara Grape

• A large, woody vine that produces edible green fruit.

• Requires rich soil and full sun, as well as regular pruning and a support structure for tendrils to climb.

• Self-fertile, which means only one plant is required for fruit.

• Niagara is a hybrid variety that produces seedless, green, earthy grapes. It is the most common green grape grown in the U.S., bred from a cross of Concord and Cassady grapes. But all these fruits are cultivars of the wild Fox Grape, which bears dark, musky berries full of small seeds. They have traditionally been eaten raw, turned into juice or jelly, dried into raisins or baked into dessert; just as domestic grapes are today. The young leaves and vines are edible as well.
