Grapes for Texas

Mar 11, 2005 1 Replies

I live in the Houston, TX area USDA zone 8b with summer heat and humidity. I am looking for some white eating grapes to grow on an arbor in my backyard. I tried some grapes in the past without much luck, as grapes generally do not grow well in my area. I have read a bit and not found much as far as the best variety. I have found a few red grape varieties for my area but for my purposes I need white grapes. My local nursery has a lot of "white diamond" variety. I read that it is a grape for New York area. I know that the nurseries will sell you anything that you will buy so I thus far have not bought that one. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.

Go to the Winery below which is located near you in Santa Fe Texas near Dickinson, Texas. If you ask them, I think they can advise you of what will grow in your area.
