Ladyfinger Grape - Olivet Blanche

Written by 

Question: I just purchased a Ladyfinger grape from your nursery and was wondering if it is a seedless or a seeded variety.  On the blue tag attached to the vine is the following information:  1351053 Ladyfinger (Olivet Blanche) Grapes
Thank you.

Ladyfinger Grape - Olivet Blanche

Answer: Richard,

Contrary to a lot of mail order websites, Ladyfinger Grape is seeded - not seedless.  We have two selections: Calmeria & Olivet Blanche.   We are slowly switching our production over to the Olivet Blanche selection which I have found to be more productive, larger and tastier.  We only shipped a few Olivet Blanche this year (not even in the catalog yet) as those were more than we needed for our increase cutting block we are planting.  So you have been lucky to get that selection.  Enjoy.
