Vitis vinifera 'Thompson Seedless'
Thompson Seedless are the best, green seedless grapes. Also known as Sultanas, and considered a white table grape, this versatile variety is used for fresh eating, canning, dried raisins, or juicing. Perfect for California's Mediterranean climate, this sweet, seedless grape grows in large bunches and looks beautiful growing along a fence or pergola.
'Thompson Seedless' is the most popular green seedless table grape for the West Coast. Large bunches of oblong light-green, sweet fruit ripen in August and are perfect for eating fresh or making raisins. Thinning the clusters helps produce larger grapes.
Vigorous and productive, Thompson Seedless yields more fruit when grown in warm to hot summer climates and can grow 6 to 9 feet long or tall depending on the pruning and support provided. Winter deciduous, the vines will drop their leaves in winter.
Grow your own private vineyard or bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden by planting Thompson Seedless grapes along a fence, or train them to grow up an arbor or pergola.
Tolerant of most soil types, but must be well draining. 6 to 8 hours of full, warm summer sun are necessary for optimal fruit production. Spacing of 6 to 8 feet is recommended for multiple plants along a fence or if trellised. Water young plants sufficiently to maintain and encourage deep roots and a strong main trunk. Supplemental watering during the warm, dry months is recommended when the top few inches of soil have dried out. Avoid getting irrigation water on the foliage, as this can lead to diseases. For disease prevention, a thorough cleaning of fallen foliage throughout the season and after autumnal leaf drop is also recommended. Avoid pruning until the second full winter of a new grape planting. A hard pruning of 75–95% of the previous season’s growth is recommended during the dormant season, between January and March. Remove any sucker growth coming from the ground and lateral branching that you do not wish to train onto the trellis or arbor. Thin the clusters in early summer to allow the remaining bunches to yield larger fruit. Table grapes are self-fertile, no cross pollinator need.
