INTERESTING FACTS ON PLANT SELECTION
The Concord grape was developed in 1849 by Ephraim Wales Bull in Concord, Massachusetts. Bull planted seeds from wild Vitis labrusca and evaluated over 22,000 seedlings before finding what he considered the ideal Concord grape. Genetic testing confirmed that Concord grape has roughly one-third Vitis vinifera parentage.
So best avoid planting vines from seed to achieve optimum fruit production. Purchase cloned vines.
