Champanelle Grape Vine
The Champanelle grape vine (Vitis labrusca 'Champanel') is a hybrid grape variety that was developed by Thomas Volney Munson in Texas in the late 19th century. It is a cross of the two grape varieties Vitis champinii and Worden.

Champanelle grapes are large, black grapes with a sweet and juicy flavor. They are typically ripe in early July. Champanelle vines are vigorous growers and can reach up to 20 feet tall. They are also resistant to many diseases, including black rot and Pierce's disease.
Champanelle grapes can be eaten fresh, made into juice or jelly, or used in winemaking. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and manganese.
To care for a Champanelle grape vine, simply plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water your vine regularly, especially during the first growing season. Fertilize your vine once a month with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. You may also want to prune your vine in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased wood, and to train the vine to grow on a trellis or other support structure.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
