Thompson Grape - A Popular Seedless Table Grape

The world’s leading fresh and raisin variety. Eat fresh or dry for raisins. Thin the clusters for larger berries. Loves heat. Excellent used as an ornamental, for summer shade, arbors or leafy walls. Thompson grapes were developed in Iran and introduced to California in the 1870s.

European varieties are classed as having originated from the cultivar Vitis vinifera and have tight skins, wine–like flavors, high heat requirements for ripening, and are the most common grapes grown in California. Use fresh, dried, and for juices or wine. May grow successfully in very warm sites at lower elevations, and require deep, moderately fertile soils and regular pruning for high quality and production. Self-fertile.
