Joy Seedless Grape

Vitis labrusca x vinifera ‘Joy’

Joy is a particularly flavorful, fruity grape. This thinned-skin, elongated, blue-black seedless grape ripens early mid-season and resists cracking. It is non-slipskin, and yet has a melting, luscious texture. Some residual seed texture can be noted during extra-hot years. From the U. of Arkansas; it’s hardy in USDA Zones 6-9, and is known for its solid disease resistance.

A grapevine can be both a highly productive source of fruit and a focal point of considerable beauty. Think carefully about where to plant one to provide shade, cover a wall or accentuate an arch. We offer grapes most of which will ripen even in areas with cool summers. The ripening dates listed are for the cooler parts of Western Washington, but most ripen sooner and thrive where summers are warmer.
