Enjoy healthful antioxidants in your own fresh grape juice, and you can make your own wonderful Concord grape jelly as well! These are hardy vines that produce a full crop of delicious, versatile grapes.

The concord is the number one grape for sweet, tangy juice and nutritious snacking. Plus, a new study has shown that grape juice has many of the same health benefits as red wine without the alcohol! And where would a peanut butter and jelly sandwich be without it?

But I’ve found them difficult to get in supermarkets and produce stands. So I decided to grow my own! These mid-season concords are deep purple, rich and sweet.

The vigorous vines are tough and easy to prune for prolific fruit production, too. The method is simple. Grow them in a “T” shape along wires or a trellis. Once a year, prune hard and keep pruning. If it doesn’t look like you’ve taken too much, prune some more- all the way back to about a three foot central cane.

I once ran over a concord with the lawnmower and couldn’t handle all the grapes it produced the next year!

Just make sure you plant it with plenty of full sun in well-drained soil and you’ll be amazed.

Your Concord Grape can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Concord Grape
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Concord Grape. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Concord Grape gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Concord Grape again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

The first year I was to prune back my vines, my German Shepherd 'pruned' one of my vines for me. He simply chewed it down to about 5 inches from the ground. The next year my 'pruned' vine produced a most wonderful crop of grapes; however, they rarely make it into the house. They're just too good to wait to eat them inside. Each year after correct pruning the grapes produce a prodigious amount of grapes for me. This year I am hoping that I get to make juice and/or grape conserve.
