An early-ripening, red seedless table grape developed by Cornell University and bred to be grown in colder climates such as the UK and Ireland. 'Einset Seedless' is prized for its dark red, sweet, firm and flavourful fruit which have a unique, strawberry-like flavour, perfect for eating.
How to care for grape Einset:
When planting incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter in to the planting hole. It will need some help to clamber up a tree, wall or pergola so you will need to provide some support and tie it in as it grows. Once it has developed a good framework you should shorten all the lateral shoots to within two or three buds from the main stem. It is essential that the majority of the pruning work is tackled in mid winter as the sap tends to 'bleed' at other times of the year, but you can cut back the odd over-long stem to a healthy bud in summer to fit the available space.
