Vitus lubrusca Hybrid  (Mars Seedless Grape)

Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship Mars Seedless Grapes to California, Europe, or Canada.

The Mars seedless grape thrives in hot summer climates and is one of the most disease-resistant seedless varieties. It typically ripens in late July and is best known for its flavor, similar to Concord grapes, with a thin skin and meaty texture similar to vinifera grapes. For optimal results, the grapes should be spaced 8 feet apart on a 6-foot high trellis. While it usually requires spraying for Black Rot, the pictured grapes were bagged instead of sprayed. The plant is suitable for USDA Zones 4-8.
