Grape 'Niagara'

Niagara is a popular, vigorous variety that produces large clusters of greenish-white grapes that are firm and sweet with a tangy flavour. They can be used for sweet white wines, preserves, fresh eating, or juices. Grapes are self-fertile and do not require another variety to produce fruit. 

Grapes require specific pruning/training regimens to keep the vines healthy and productive. In general, grapes should be pruned back heavily every year, as the vine only produces fruit on the current year's growth. It's recommended to do this in late fall/early winter. It can also be done in the spring, but the sap will be flowing, which can make it difficult for the vine to heal the wounds. 

Grapes grow best in full sun with loose, fertile, well-drained soil in an area with good airflow. Consistent moisture is required for the first year, and it will need strong support to grow on. Well-draining soil is essential for winter survival.
