Bluebell was developed from the early 20th century University of Minnesota breeding program aimed at grape varieties for table use, plus juice, and jelly production. It is very cold hardy, early ripening, and disease resistant, but should not be planted on soils with pH above 7.0 where it would be prone to iron chlorosis. This blue, seeded table grape has a delightful, fruity, mild labrusca, or Concord-like flavor and thick skin. It produces a juice with delicate light red color that makes an attractive and unusual juice or jelly. SOLD OUT FOR 2024.

Green seedless grape. Combination of fruity and muscat flavors. Hardiness has not be established, but we have seen it produce a full crop after -13F, and may be slightly more hardy. Early to mid season ripening. Very attractive oval, pointed berries are green to light yellow in color. Skin thickness is above average. Medium sized berries on large clusters. Late bud break helps to protect the vine against late frost. Selected by U. of Arkansas. $.80 royalty will be added to the price of the vine.
