Thompson Seedless grape vine details

• Plant form: One dormant bare-root grape vine
• USDA hardiness zones: 7–10
• Pollination: Self-fruitful; a second grape variety is not required for fruit set
• Harvest: Commonly late summer into early fall; timing varies with climate and growing conditions
• Pruning: Cane prune during dormancy and train on a sturdy trellis, arbor, or wire system
• Fruit: Pale-green elongated seedless berries with sweet flesh

Planting and care

Plant in full sun, with at least seven to eight hours of direct light, in well-drained soil. Install permanent support at planting. Water deeply during establishment without leaving the root zone saturated. Annual dormant pruning renews fruiting wood and keeps the canopy open. Thompson Seedless is vigorous and needs consistent annual pruning and a sturdy training system.

Harvest and shipping notes

Taste fruit from several clusters before harvest because grapes do not continue to ripen after picking. A dormant bare-root vine may arrive leafless; this is normal. Establishment, ripening, and crop size depend on site, weather, vine age, pruning, and care.
