Botanic Name:
Vitis californica 'Rogers Red' Common Name: California Wild Grape Size: 40'h x 40'w Sun: Sun-Part Shade H20: Occ.H2O/moist
Description: This California Wild Grape was selected by Roger Raiche at the U.C. Berkeley Botanic Garden. A vigorous vine growing 3-6 feet per year, it turns flaming red in the fall before losing its leaves. Also sets fruit profusely, with only occasional water. While tasty, the grapes are seedy, making it better for birds than people. We have not found it to be messy, hanging onto the grapes until they are raisins, then picked off by birds. A favorite vine here at Yerba Buena.
