Description

The Thompson Seedless is the timeless, versatile workhorse of the grape world. As the most widely planted grape globally, it delivers exactly what you expect: clusters of juicy, sweet, and mild green grapes that are perfect for eating fresh, drying into golden raisins, or pressing for juice. A dependable and heavy-bearing choice for sunny Bay Area spots.

  • Produces large, loose clusters of medium-sized, pale green-gold berries with a thin, tender skin.

  • Flesh is exceptionally juicy, very sweet, and subtly flavored, making it a universally appealing snack.

  • Completely seedless and easy to eat, ideal for children and for recipes where seeds are undesirable.

  • A vigorous, self-pollinating, and highly productive vine that thrives in hot, arid climates with plenty of sun—perfect for California summers.

  • The premier grape for drying into light, sweet golden raisins (sultanas) and for making clear, sweet white grape juice.

  • Also excellent for eating fresh off the vine and is the common green grape found in supermarkets.

Flavor Profile:

  • Flavor: Clean, straightforward sweetness with very low acidity.

  • Texture: Soft, juicy, and tender-skinned.

Faqs

  • Q: Are Thompson Seedless and Sultana grapes the same?A: Essentially, yes. “Thompson Seedless“ is the common name for the fresh grape and raisin in the US, while “Sultana“ is the name often used for the raisin internationally. They are the same variety.
  • Q: Why are my Thompson grapes not sweet?A: Likely due to insufficient heat or sun, or harvesting too early. They need long, hot summers to reach their full sugar potential. Ensure they are fully yellow-green and soft before harvesting.
  • Q: Can I grow them in a container?A: Yes, with a large, deep pot and a very strong support trellis. Be prepared for diligent watering and feeding, as container plants dry out and deplete nutrients faster.
