** PLEASE NOTE: Although considered a «seedless» variety, seeds might occasionally appear some years, when the vine has been “stressed”.
As stated by Cornell University: «The degree of seedlessness varies greatly among seedless grape varieties. Most seedless grapes have vestigial seed traces that range in size from very small to large and noticeable. Seed traces in berries of the same variety may vary greatly in size and in the hardness of their seed coats. Climate is also known to affect seed trace size. Occasionally the seed traces in some seedless grapes are large enough to be bothersome to consumers.»
*WARNING! This cultivar is not hardy in Quebec. It is mandatory to protect the vine during winter in areas whose hardiness zone is less than 5b (Ex: 5b, 5a, 4b, 4a, 3b etc… Cover with geotextile…)
