Kathryn Kelly on Aug 19, 2013Look up at library or google it or ask at a nursery. I do know you have to prune them pretty severely for them to keep producing.Helpful Reply

SicilianMa on Aug 19, 2013Looks like Concord grapes. You can process into grape juice (good to add in fresh fruit smoothies) or can continue making into wine. Can also make a wonderful jelly/jam with them. My mother used to make so many jars of grape jelly we began to run the other way by the time the end of winter came because we were jellied out. We suggested that she wrap them and give them as gifts. That worked out well. You can google how to make these recipes on line or maybe some of the people on this site will share their recipes. Salute!Helpful Reply

Lgsmith on Aug 19, 2013Could be muscat grapes. My grand dad had a muscat and he never cut them back. Just kept the runners trimmed. His trestle was so thick with the vine we used to play in the shade. Granny had so many grapes she gave them to family and neighbors. This was up in Northeast Alabama.Helpful Reply

Nancy Williams on Aug 19, 2013Concord grapes, and yes, you can make your own wine, jelly, juice they even make grape pies from concord. I live in a small area where we have 9+ wineries and only 3 stop lights. Several families make their own wine for home use also. They do the trimming in very early spring, never cut them down to ground level. Harvesting begins when the sugar content is up over 20+, which brings the harvesting around early Sept. depends on what kind of weather we've had in the summer. I'm surrounded by concord grapes, and when it's harvesting time, it's like you opened a "Welch's" Jelly Jar"....mmmmm. We also have a Welch's factory here in North East, Pa. N.W.Helpful Reply

Judy on Aug 20, 2013Do you have any idea how many varieties of purple grapes are out there? The most common is Concord. If it's a slip skin with seeds & tastes like the purple grape juice you buy in the store that's probably what you've got but they really could be any of dozens. This web page is informative re: Concords. http://www.concordgrape.org/bodyfacts.html#question13Helpful Reply

Janet F on Aug 22, 2013Here in Lodi, CA, the grapes(all varieties) are pruned in the winter months usually January or February. They are pruned back to the original vine leaving only about a 4 - 6 inch stump. The vine looks virtually dead at this point but within a few weeks the new leaves start appearing. We have relatively mild winters with no snow so you should definitely check with your local ag dept. to get the best advice for your area.Helpful Reply
