Description
The 'Thompson Seedless' vine is one of the world's most widely grown seedless varieties, famous for its elongated, thin-skinned, sweet-tasting green grapes. It is ideal for fresh consumption, raisins (sultanas), or juice. It is highly productive, but requires a warmer climate to reach its full potential. Less resistant to cold than other varieties, it is best grown in temperate or sheltered regions. However, it is very vigorous, easy to prune, and produces beautiful grape clusters when properly trained. It requires well-drained soil, full sun, and regular watering.
