Hi! Here’s a cold hardy grape I have never heard of and it seems very interesting! It doesn’t say in the description, but it contains seeds. Elmer Swenson’s.
Anyone growing it or have informations about it?

Well, I still don’t have much info on this varitety, but I planted it this spring… We’ll see next year!
Suppose to be non slip-skin, seeded grapes, that taste like honey and tangerines. Zone 4… Sounds good, no?
I also added Swenson red and New York muscat.
Curious if you have updated info on those grape varieties?
Yes, well, my vine grew and gave me super delicious grapes. You definetly taste, almost instantly, the tangerine aromas. They are very soft (almost pure juice), with thick, but somewhat melting skin. Lots of seeds. But I don’t mind them. They are very sweet and tangy, so very good in my book. The vine is healthy, vigorous, productive and very cold hardy. It doesn’t need any protection here, in CAN zone 5a. The clusters are small and grapes are sparse, similar to Adalmiina or Concord.
