MARS SEEDLESS GRAPE

Price range: $21.95 through $27.95

Among the numerous successful small fruit varieties developed at the University of Arkansas is a whole series of seedless grapes, which they then named after the planets. Of these, Mars is arguably the best in both cold hardiness and plant health. The mid to large berries begin colouring up crimson and turn deep blue at maturity. The flavour is very reminiscent of Concord, but obviously the absence of seeds makes Mars much preferred for fresh eating. It's thick slip-skin is resistant to cracking. This is also a good grape for juice or raisins and even makes a respectable white wine with hints of pineapple flavour. Vigorous vines are one of the last to bud out in the spring.

Product Overview
Seedless Grapes (Vitis) Seedless grapes are one of the most enjoyable fruits a homeowner can grow and in most cases are more profitable on a commercial scale than wine grapes. Although we select the very hardiest seedless varieties, they are (with the possible exception of Somerset and maybe Trollhaugen) somewhat less winter hardy than the old familiar Concord. They are of course also more rewarding to grow. Planting in an area protected from severe winter blasts is helpful. Grapes love the summer sun and will respond to all the protection and southern exposure you can provide. Bareroot plants

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
