In 1872, William Thompson introduced seedless grape cuttings to California. Thompson Seedless today make up more than 95 per cent of the grapes used to make raisins in California. About 4-1/2 pounds (2 kilograms) of grapes produce 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) of raisins.

Glen, try the FPMS site for identity, it should not be too hard for such a popular grape. You would need a good leaf to compare.
The reference to not harvesting for 5 years probably meant that you should not encourage the vine to make too many bunches in the first years?

I am not that familiar with table grapes, Glen.

The reserch i did said to not let them make fruit untill the 4th or 5th year. As you may now guess i'm a bit perturbed since i waited 5 years to find they'er not what i wanted. QUESTION IS...Is there a way i can tell they are for sure they are thompson seedless ?  Perhaps by leaf shape? Thanks for any help.Our mail is    gfrf84@...
