Itasca Grape
Vitis 'Itasca'
Vitis 'Itasca' is a cold-hardy, disease-resistant grapevine developed by the University of Minnesota. It is a hybrid cross between Vitis riparia and Vitis labrusca, and is known for its ability to produce high-quality grapes in cold climates. The grapes are medium-sized and have a pale green color with a musky aroma and a sweet, juicy flavor. 'Itasca' grapes are typically harvested in mid to late September. The vine itself has large, lobed leaves that turn yellow in the fall, providing a colorful display. It is a vigorous grower and can reach heights of up to 15 feet, making it ideal for growing on arbors, trellises, or fences. Vitis 'Itasca' is relatively easy to grow and is tolerant of a range of soil types, but prefers well-drained soils. It is also highly resistant to many common grape diseases, including powdery mildew and downy mildew. Overall, Vitis 'Itasca' is a flavorful and hardy grapevine that is an excellent choice for home gardeners and commercial growers in cold climate regions.
