Prices start at : 14.99 USD / 1 no. 1 1-yr. vine
Sweet, tasty grapes ideal for fresh eating; also good for wine, producing a fruity flavor similar to Riesling. Not available in CA, ID, OR, WA. Ripening in September, Cayuga is notable for its hardiness and bunch rot resistance.
- Comments: The most productive white grape you can grow. Sweet skin in warmer climates. A recommended hybrid cross, developed in 1947 and released in 1972 by the Geneva (NY) Research Station, between the Schuyler and Seyval Blanc cultivars. Usually ripens around late September and is used to make a fruity white wine of mild intensity somewhat similar to Riesling. Widely grown in the Finger Lakes region of New York State and other hard-frost areas to -5 deg. F. (ca -20 C.) susceptible regions of North America. Also recommended for Arkansas. Noted for hardiness and bunch rot disease resistance, the grapes should be picked at low sugars to avoid over-ripe, sometimes labrusca-like, flavors. Young shoots reportedly fragile in strong winds.
