Seedless variety might have been a better choice. Mine are quite tasty, but perhaps too acidic, can cause an upset stomach. Some insect tends to ruin a lot of grapes by implanting one egg per grape. :/ Spiders and birds also like to live among the vines. But we get plenty to eat without using pesticides or netting/bird repelling devices. Grows vigorously, doubling in size annually.

My Dab planted these in the early 60s & they are still going strong. We make juice, jelly & just eat them. Ripens around Labor Day here.
