Common Name: Himrod Grape
Botanical Name: Vitis vinifera 'Himrod'

Type: Hardy, seedless grape vine.
Foliage: Attractive, large, dark green leaves that provide great coverage.
Growth Habit: Deciduous vine with a vigorous climbing habit. It requires a trellis or support to grow upright.

Fruit: Vitis 'Himrod' produces medium-sized, golden-green, seedless grapes that are sweet, crisp, and perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or making wine.
Maturity: The vine can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) in height and spread, creating an elegant vine that adds beauty to any garden or outdoor space.
Flowering: The vine flowers in late spring, followed by the formation of delicious grapes by late summer to early autumn (typically in August).
Hardiness: Vitis 'Himrod' can tolerate cold down to -10°C.

Edible Fruits: The grapes are sweet, seedless, and perfect for fresh consumption or use in recipes, jams, jellies, and more.
Wine Production: Though primarily enjoyed fresh, 'Himrod' grapes are also used to make light white wines.
Juices & Smoothies: These versatile grapes add natural sweetness and flavor to juices, smoothies, and desserts.
Decorative: Grows beautifully on trellises, fences, or walls, making it an excellent choice for ornamental garden designs.

Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly alkaline to neutral pH.
Sunlight: Grows best in full sun, which will result in the sweetest fruits. It can tolerate some partial shade, but fruit production may be reduced.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. However, avoid waterlogging, as this can damage the roots.

Planting: Plant your Vitis 'Himrod' vine in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Ensure 1.5 meters of space between each vine to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Planting Time: Ideal planting time is during the spring or autumn, after the last frost, to encourage strong root establishment.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture, keep the roots cool, and suppress weed growth.
Training: Train the vine on a trellis or vertical support structure for optimal growth.
Pruning: Prune in winter or spring to remove dead or damaged growth. In early spring, cut back last year’s growth to encourage strong, new fruit-bearing shoots.

Feeding: Feed in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as it can encourage excessive leaf growth at the expense of fruiting.
Watering: Water regularly, particularly during dry spells, but avoid letting the plant sit in waterlogged conditions.
Disease Resistance: 'Himrod' is generally resistant to common grapevine diseases, but it is still important to check for pests such as aphids or fungal infections during the growing season.

When to Harvest: Grapes are ready for harvest when they are firm, plump, and have a rich golden hue. They typically ripen by late summer to early autumn, depending on your climate.
Storage: Grapes should be eaten fresh for optimal flavor, but they can also be stored in the fridge for a short time. Grapes do not ripen once harvested, so ensure they are fully ripe before picking.
