About Reliance
Reliance is a pink-red seedless grape valued for sweetness, cold hardiness, and reliable crops. It is a popular home-garden table grape, especially where winters are too cold for many seedless varieties.
Growing Reliance Grape
Train it to a strong support and prune every winter to keep fruiting wood renewed and the canopy open. Because it blooms relatively late, it can dodge some spring frost trouble, and the berries are best picked once fully colored and sweet rather than simply when they soften.
