About This Variety
Marquis Seedless is a mid season, white seedless grape with large, spherical berries borne on large clusters. It has excellent flavor, good hardiness, and is best suited for home gardens. It was developed by a breeding program at Cornell University. Flowers of Marquis are self-fertile.
Growing Instructions
Grapes need deep, well-drained, loose soil with pH levels 5.5 to 6.5. Add 2-3” of mulch to maintain soil moisture. To plant: Remove plant from packaging. If the roots are dry, soak the roots no more than two hours before planting. Do not submerge the plant. Soak the roots only. Dig a hole slightly larger than the spread of the plant’s root system. Place the plant in the center of the hole, spread out the roots and backfill with soil. Firm the soil around the roots as you backfill. Water thoroughly. Trim the plant to about half its original height and remove small side branches.
Care Tip
Pruning is important. Don’t be afraid to remove at least 90% of the previous season’s growth when vines are dormant. Remember, the more you prune, the more grapes you will have. The first year, cut back all buds except for 2 or 3. Select a couple of strong canes and cut back the rest. In the second year, prune back all canes. Leave a couple of buds on each of the arms. Remove flower clusters as they form. Grape vines will need to be trained to some type of support to grow upward. Begin training the vine in the second year to a permanent support such as a trellis or arbor.
