Blue Outdoor Grape 'Acolon'

(1971) Although this German variety brought a breakthrough in breeding, it was only registered in 2002. It originated from a cross between Blauer Lemberger (Blaufränkisch) and Dornfelder. Typically a black wine grape: fruity, high yield, mid-early harvestable with mild tannins. Also highly valued as a table grape. Growth is vigorous and disease resistance is average.

Growing grapes outdoors is the dream of many garden owners, isn't it?! Unlike the disappointing varieties 'Witte van der Laan' and 'Rembrandt', we offer a selection of tasty, mostly disease-resistant varieties, extensively tested in our climate.
Grapes can be susceptible to fungi, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, botrytis, black spot, and red spot disease. Some varieties are almost completely resistant, others have partial resistance or a very high resistance to fungi. With a few sprays in the spring with organic agents (see our chapter on organic crop protection), these can be kept very healthy.
WE CAN ONLY PURCHASE MOST VARIETIES ONCE A YEAR (IN NOVEMBER OR MAY). DELIVERY TIME CAN THEREFORE BE LONG.
