Description

The Table Grape Red Hanepoort is a beloved South African classic—famous for its sweet, juicy flavor and reddish-pink skin that deepens to red when fully ripe. This seeded variety is a multipurpose gem: perfect for fresh eating, juicing, drying, or even winemaking.

Here’s a care guide tailored for your nursery or client base:

Sunlight: Thrives in full sun; ideal for warm, dry climates.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy loam with slightly acidic pH.
Watering: Keep moist during growth; reduce during ripening to enhance flavor and prevent splitting.
Pruning: Prune after harvest or in late winter to encourage fruiting on 1–2-year-old wood.
Support: Needs a strong trellis or pergola—can reach 2–3m in height and spread.
Harvest: Typically ready from February to March in South Africa. Best enjoyed fresh or processed soon after picking, as shelf life is short.
Pests/Disease: Susceptible to powdery mildew—apply lime Sulphur during dormancy and ensure good airflow.
