Grapevine 'Fantasy Seedless'
Vitis vinifera L. ‘Fantasy Seedless’
Fantasy Seedless is early and it makes an impression: large blue-black seedless berries with a thin skin and crisp light-green flesh that put it among the best-eating grapes in its class. It comes in early in the season, when the market pays best. The vine is vigorous but sets nothing on its basal buds, so it wants cane pruning — prune it short and it will disappoint you. The thin skin also means watching the water: rain or heavy irrigation close to harvest splits the berries. An American variety from USDA in California; VIVC no. 16016.
The variety: Fantasy Seedless
Large black seedless grape · Black seedless table grape
About the variety
Fantasy stands out for its naturally large black berries with firm, sweet flesh and a thin skin. It is our top pick for a black seedless grape. Let the fruit ripen fully on the vine, where it develops its best flavour.
In your garden
It likes sun, free-draining soil and a support with room for its vigorous growth. It fruits with long pruning. Avoid too much nitrogen fertiliser and overwatering, and keep the canopy open for good airflow.
Indicative for lowland Cyprus. Berry size, sweetness and ripening time depend on site, climate, crop load and care.
