Common name

Type
Fruit-bearing climbing plant
Family
Vitaceae

Vitis 'Reliance', commonly known as 'Reliance' grape, is a table grape variety highly prized for its seedless pink grapes and excellent hardiness. Its vigorous climbing habit, with twining shoots, is perfectly suited for growing on a trellis, pergola, or fence in full sun. It produces medium clusters of reddish-pink grapes with thin skin and tender, exceptionally sweet and juicy flesh, ideal for fresh consumption. Harvesting generally occurs in late summer. Its deciduous bright green foliage forms a dense cover during the season and may color slightly in autumn. Cold-hardy and productive, Vitis 'Reliance' attracts pollinating insects and is an excellent choice for northern gardens seeking flavor and reliability.
