** 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 grape variety is not hardy in Quebec. Winter protection is required in areas which hardiness zone is less than 6a (Ex: 6a, 5b, 5a, 4b, 4a, 3b etc… Cover with geotextile…)

 

No guarantee offered on cultivars that are not hardy in Quebec.

Himrod

 

Tout comme le Canadice (cépage également offert par Vignes Chez Soi), lui aussi hybridé à l’Université de Cornell dans l’état de New York (USA) et qui porte le nom de l’un des «Fingers Lake», (lacs en forme de «doigts» se trouvant dans l’état de New York aux USA), «Himrod» est le nom d’une ville située dans cette même région des Fingers Lake.

 

Un autre cépage offert également par Vignes Chez Soi et faisant parti du même programme d’hybridation que l’Himrod et le Canadice, porte lui aussi le nom de l’une ville de cette région. Il s’agit de l’Interlaken.

 

Mieux que ca!…  l’Himrod et l’Interlaken proviennent du même croisement: Ontario X Thompson. Autrement dit, ils sont frère et soeur!
