The Fredonia Grape is a hardy, early-ripening blue-black variety that delivers classic Concord flavor with an earlier harvest. Known for its rich, sweet-tart flavor and large, juicy berries, Fredonia is perfect for juice, jelly, and fresh eating.

This vigorous, disease-resistant variety performs best in USDA Zones 58 and ripens about two weeks earlier than Concord making it an excellent choice for northern gardeners and short-season climates. Fredonia produces large clusters of deep blue fruit that are both flavorful and productive year after year.

Ships as dormant, bare-root plants ready to grow in your garden this spring.
