Somerset Grape is an early ripening seedless grape that's delicious in taste similar to red strawberry. There has been positive feedback on its hardiness throughout the prairies. Worth a try for cold climate growing areas with short seasons. One of our premier grapes we have growing in our nursery. Grapes ripen around early September and is hardy to -35. Developed by Elmer Swenson.
