Description
Vitis Himrod brings loose clusters of sweet, seedless golden grapes to a sunny wall, sturdy trellis, or pergola. The vigorous deciduous vine gives an early harvest for fresh eating, preserves, or drying.
Provide full sun, a sheltered support, and moist but well-drained neutral or slightly alkaline soil. Mulch to conserve moisture, water thoroughly during dry spring and summer weather, and feed while growth and fruit are developing.
Prune the permanent framework while the vine is dormant, then train and trim new shoots through spring and summer. The fruit is toxic to dogs if eaten, so keep fallen grapes out of their reach.
