Buffalo Grape

Buffalo Grape (Vitis labrusca 'Buffalo') is a robust and cold-hardy grape variety, known for its adaptability and flavorful fruit. This deciduous vine features medium-sized clusters of deep purple, almost black, grapes. With a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, Buffalo Grapes are excellent for fresh consumption, wine making, or crafting preserves.

They are self-pollinating, meaning a single vine is capable of setting fruit. However, planting multiple vines may increase yields.

They typically ripen in late summer to early fall. The vines usually start bearing fruit within 2 to 3 years after planting, reaching full productivity as they mature.

The Buffalo Grape is a vigorous climber, reaching a mature height of 8 to 10 feet and spreading to cover arbors or trellises with a width of 6 to 8 feet.

They thrive in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 10, making it well-suited for regions with cold winters and temperate climates.
