St. Croix grapes are a hybrid cross between a native American grape and a European grape variety. They were developed in the 1940s by the University of Minnesota, and are now grown in many parts of the United States. St. Croix grapes are known for their sweet, juicy flavor, and are an ideal choice for making wine or juice. They are also used as a table grape and for raisins.
St. Croix grapes are a hardy, disease-resistant variety. They are a robust, vigorous variety and can withstand cold temperatures. The grapes are dark-skinned and have a unique flavor, including notes of raspberry and cherry.
When planting St. Croix grapes, you will need to choose the right site. The ideal location for St. Croix grapes is one that is sunny, with well-drained soil. The soil should be slightly acidic and should have a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. It is also important that the site has good air circulation to help prevent mildew and disease.
Before planting, it is important to prepare the soil. The soil should be loosened and amended with compost or other organic matter. A trellis should also be installed for the vines to climb. St. Croix grapes should be planted in the late winter or early spring.
When planting St. Croix grapes, it is important to choose a healthy plant. The vines should be two to three years old and should have a strong root system. Grapes should be planted at least six feet apart, and the vines should be spaced at least four feet apart.
Once the grapes are planted, they should be watered regularly. St. Croix grapes require at least an inch of water each week. During times of drought, they may need supplemental water.
Fertilizer should also be applied to St. Croix grapes. A balanced fertilizer should be used, and should be applied in the spring and summer.
To harvest St. Croix grapes, wait until the grapes are a deep purple color and the skins are slightly wrinkled. Grapes should be picked in the morning when the temperatures are cooler.
When planting and caring for St. Croix grapes, you should also be aware of pests and diseases. St. Croix grapes are susceptible to powdery mildew, downy mildew, and other fungal diseases. Insects, such as grape berry moth and leafhoppers, can also damage the vines.
