Description
The Sultana Table Grape—also known as Thompson Seedless—is a timeless favorite in South African gardens. It’s celebrated for its sweet, juicy, seedless berries with a light green to golden hue, perfect for fresh eating, drying into raisins, or even juicing.
Here’s a care guide tailored for your nursery or client base:
- Sunlight: Needs full sun—ideally 80–100% exposure daily.
- Soil: Thrives in deep, well-drained soil with a slightly alkaline pH (7.4–8).
- Watering: Moderate; avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but don’t overwater.
- Pruning: Prune hard in winter—leave 2–4 main stems twisted and tied to a wire for better yields.
- Support: Grows vigorously—up to 5m tall—so a strong trellis or pergola is essential.
- Harvest: Typically ready from March to April in South Africa. Taste is the best indicator of ripeness.
- Pests/Disease: Susceptible to powdery mildew—apply lime sulphur during dormancy and ensure good airflow.
