Grapevine 'Superior Seedless'
Vitis vinifera L. ‘Superior Seedless’
Superior Seedless is one of the most commercial early whites: seedless, light-green berries with a neutral to lightly aromatic flavour, ready very early in the season. It is highly vigorous and sets nothing on its basal buds, so it wants long pruning and careful crop management — it works both on a wide-spaced pergola and on vertical trellising. In wet years, watch for powdery mildew. A Californian variety out of Cardinal; VIVC files it under the prime name Sugraone, no. 12087.
The variety: Superior Seedless
Early, large green seedless grape · Also known as Sugraone
About the variety
Superior is one of the first varieties to ripen in the garden. It gives large, firm, crisp berries with a sweet, neutral to lightly aromatic flavour. It is our top pick for a large green seedless grape.
In your garden
Plant in a sunny spot with free-draining soil and sturdy support. It is a vigorous variety and fruits best with long (cane) pruning. Limiting the number of clusters improves berry size and even ripening.
Indicative for lowland Cyprus. Berry size, sweetness and ripening time depend on site, climate, crop load and care.
