Grapes & Kiwis

Permaculture-based consulting, education

and stock for today’s homesteader

Table Grapes: Seedless unless noted otherwise. Grapes perform best when trained to a trellis and pruned heavily each year; otherwise the fruits succumb to various rots and mildews (unless you live in a drier climate). All current-year’s rooted cuttings. $6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots

Reliance: An incredibly flavorful and sweet pink seedless grape with wonderful floral quality to its fruit. Hard to leave any for juice or jelly since you eat all of them fresh! Some cold-hardiness and disease resistance. Vigorous grower, quick to establish. $6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots

Mars: Seedless deep blue grape with a wonderful flavor and high yield. Resistant to several major diseases and late to bud out in the spring, so less likely to get frosted. Vigorous plants. Fruit is slipskin. $6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots

Interlaken: Greenish-yellow seedless grape with great flavor. Earlier-ripening makes it possible to ripen in shorter-season areas. Very productive.

$6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots Not Available in 2011

Canadice: Pink-red seedless grape with spicy flavor. Like Interlaken, can ripen in shorter summer areas. $6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots Not Available in 2011

Concord: Well-known deep blue seeded grape. Decent for eating fresh, but best for juice and jelly. Vigorous, disease-resistant plant, great for slightly shady spots where other grapes could not perform. Not for short season areas.

$6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots

Hardy Kiwis (Actinidia arguta): Kiwis for the North! Not as large as the supermarket kiwifruit, but with smooth, edible skin and a much sweeter and rich flavor! Taste almost perfumed with floral qualities. Vines are breathtakingly beautiful with bright green leaves and red stems. Trellis these in the garden or on your house for an edible and beautiful vine. Can take some shade but will fruit best in full-sun. Vines grow very fast and large once established. Needs sturdy trellis. Male and female plants needed for pollination (except for ‘Issai’ which is partially self-fertile) but only one male needed for 8 females.

4” pots $6; gal pots $12

Annanasnaya Female: Developed in Russia, known to be one of the most productive varieties. Name means “pineapple-like” in Russian. Steady producer and easy to grow. Needs male for pollination. $6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots Not Available spring 2011

Issai: Smaller plant and partially self-fertile. Great for smaller trellises and where there is no room for a male as well. Will produce more fruits with a male. Green stems rather than red, so a little less showy but still gorgeous.

$6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots Not Available spring 2011

Male A. arguta kiwi: Pollinator for all arguta varieties, not for A. kolomikta or A. deliciosa. Grows as large as Annanasnaya but can be kept pruned back if needed. $6 ea- 4”pots; $12 ea– gal pots
