The
Red Flame Seedless Grape Vine ripens in late July, and is
a very popular bunch grape in
the United States. It is well known
for its very crisp flavor.
The Red Flame seedless grape is firm, forms large clusters and is flavorful for
use as a table grape or salads, and the Seedless Grape has colors ranging from
flame red to dark purple.
Red Flame prefers plenty of heat during
ripening period. This red grape is the one most often found in grocery stores.
Ripens just a few days a head of Concord. Zones 7-10.
A cross between the Tokay (a seeded grape) and
a round seedless, Red Flames are firm and sweet, with a very good crisp texture. |
