GRAPE Olshefsky Red (Vitis hybrid)

C$15.00Price
  • Original variety name lost in time... dubbed "Olshefsky" for thefriend who gave us our first cuttings.  Vines will produce 15-30 pounds of fruit after 2-3 years and  must be pruned hard in the spring and trimmed again in late summer for maximum sun on fruit.

    Grape vines are a handsome structural addition to any garden.  They can be trained to grow over arbours and around fences where they can create a living barrier or enclosed space.
