About Niagara
Niagara is a classic white to greenish-yellow American grape with a sweet, distinctly aromatic labrusca flavor. It is widely used for juice as well as fresh eating, and the berries are usually seeded with a slip-skin texture.
Growing Niagara Grape
Grow Niagara on a sturdy support and prune hard every winter to prevent an overgrown, shaded vine. In humid weather, bunch diseases and black rot can be significant, so remove mummified fruit, keep the vine open, and pick promptly once clusters color and sweeten.
