Vitis Frontenac Noir/Black Sub

Description

Vitis ‘Frontenac Noir’ (Black Sub for St. Croix) is a hardy red wine grape variety that is well-suited for cold climates. Known for its resistance to winter temperatures, it thrives in northern regions where many other grape varieties might struggle. The grapes are dark purple to black when ripe and are highly prized for producing rich, fruity wines with complex flavors. The plant itself is vigorous, offering good yields of high-quality fruit. Vitis ‘Frontenac Noir’ has been used as a substitute for St. Croix, offering a similar flavor profile but with even more cold resistance, making it an excellent choice for winemakers and home gardeners in colder regions. | Plant Form: spreading | Hardiness Zone: 5 | Grow Height: 22 feet | Grow Spread: 26 inches | SunLight Requirement: full sun | Moisture Requirement: average to moist | Wildlife Attraction: birds | Fall Color: yellow | Landscape Application: Screening;Garden;Orchard
