Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Small to medium, oval, pale green-yellow seedless berries; crisp and very sweet with a neutral flavour.

Vigorous, heat-loving, needs a long hot season; low winter hardiness.

Very high yielding; used commercially for table grapes, raisins and juice/concentrate.

Susceptible to mildew and rot; poorly suited to cool-climate outdoor growing.
