** 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 7b (Ex: 7b, 7a, 6a, 5b, 5a, 4b, 4a, 3b etc… Cover with geotextile…)
