DescriptionA unique, strawberry-like flavor. This heavy bearer will give you compact clusters of medium-sized table grapes that are good for fresh eating and making jelly. The fruit starts out pink, but becomes much sweeter and more flavorful after ripening on the vine until turning a full red color. Moderately vigorous, mostly disease-resistant and very cold-hardy — in temperatures as low as -30°F. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating.

Wisconsin bred, northern hardy. The earliest, sweetest, hardiest and highest quality red seedless grape available. Bred by Elmer Swenson, a pioneer of grape breeding from Osceola, Wisconsin, this table grape bears clusters of medium sized, seedless berries with sweet strawberry-like flavor. While edible at the pink stage in August, flavor will be even sweeter if left to ripen to full red. Superb for fresh eating, juice and jelly. Quite disease resistant.
