Common name

Type
Fruit-bearing climbing plant
Family
Vitaceae

Vitis 'Concord' is an iconic, vigorous grapevine, recognized for its clusters of dark blue grapes with an intensely fruity and distinctive flavor. This variety develops a rambling, climbing habit capable of quickly covering trellises, pergolas, and fences, forming a dense leafy screen during the summer. Its bright green deciduous foliage adds ornamental interest while protecting the ripening fruit. The clusters ripen in late summer and are particularly prized for processing into juices, jellies, and jams due to their aromatic and sweet flesh. Adapted to well-drained soils and sunny exposures, Vitis 'Concord' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a productive, robust, and versatile grapevine. Once established, it offers abundant and regular harvests in temperate climates.
