Glenora Grapes

Glenora (Ontario x Russian Seedless). From Cornell University's Geneva, New York experiment station. Blue seedless. The vine vigor is excessive and not as productive as such a large vine could be. Flavor is very mild and pleasant, but the clusters vary. Some may be perfect, with uniform large berries; others are straggly, with various berry sizes on the same cluster. Berries crack if rained on at ripening time. but seem able to "heal" somewhat instead of rotting. One oddity for me is that, almost without fail, the bottom three berries on a cluster are always under ripe when the rest of the cluster is ready. When frozen, berries of Glenora look and taste a lot like blueberries. Prune to canes.
