The Niagara Grape has a very sweet taste that makes it ideal for table use, jams/jellies, juice, wines, and champagnes. Niagara ripens mid season and it ranks just below Concord in cold hardiness and ripens somewhat earlier. Plants are vigorous, hardy, and productive.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera 'White Niagara') - Blooming
Blooms small green flowers in summer followed by fruits. The grapes and are edible in some species and often used to make wine.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera 'White Niagara') - Growth
Woody, deciduous tendril climbers, sometimes shrubs. Grapes do well in full sun or partial shade. Plant height varies depending on variety. Grow over a trellis, fence, or pergola, through a large shrub or tree, or against a wall. Grapes are grown for their foliage and fruits.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera 'White Niagara') - Planting
Soak bareroot stocks in water for several hours before planting. Dig a hole big enough to fit all the roots, and spread the roots over a small pile of loose soil in the hole. Fill the hole with soil, pack it down with a stick or your boot, and place mulch around the vine for weed and moisture control. Don't amend the planting soil with compost or mulch, because this will encourage roots to stay put, and you want them to spread! Standard spacing for grapes is 8 ft apart in a row, with multiple rows spaced 8-12 ft apart.

Grape leaf skeletonizer, scale insects, mealybigs, and Japanese beetle sometimes occur. Vitis is also prone to downy mildew, gray mold, canker, dieback, mushroom root rot, leaf spots, black rot, powdery mildew, and Pierce's disease.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera 'White Niagara') - Interesting facts
Many grape vines are grafts of different varieties, one for the roots and one for the shoots. Looks for a graft union close above the crown, showing as a bulge, a difference in diameter, or a change in bark. If planting a grafted vine, the graft union must stay above the ground, or the stem graft will produce roots, thus negating the graft. Non-grafted grapes can be planted as deep as 18 inches, which improves cold-hardiness.
