Description

The Table Grape Catawba Black is a vigorous, fast-growing vine known for its sweet-sour flavor and striking dark purple skin. It’s a hybrid of Vitis labrusca (Fox Grape) and Sémillon, with a rich history in American viticulture—once the most widely planted grape in the U.S. during the 1800s.

Here’s a care snapshot tailored for your nursery or client advice:

Sunlight: Full sun is essential for optimal fruiting.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter.
Watering: Regular watering during establishment; reduce once mature.
Pruning: Prune in late winter to encourage airflow and fruit production.
Harvest: Ripens late summer to early autumn; only pick when fully ripe for best flavor.
Uses: Excellent as a table grape, for jams, or even home winemaking due to its high acidity and vibrant flavor.
It’s a great addition to edible landscapes and performs well in many South African climates.
