Autumn Royal Seedles Plants

Origin

Autumn Royal is a late-maturing black seedless table grape developed by David Ramming and Ron Tarailo of the USDA-ARS in Fresno, CA 1981.

Use

Table grape variety. Used as a dessert or wine grape

Phenology

The cultivar produces large, dark purple to black berries which ripen in late September to mid-October.

Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production

The commercial appeal of Autumn Royal rests on its large berry size and late maturity, as well as the fact that relatively few inputs are required for the production of high quality fruit.

The dark purple/black berries are larger than other seedless varieties and have a thin skin and juicy, sweet translucent yellow-green flesh.

Requires a cold greenhouse or a sunny outdoor position:

• Sun: Full sun.
• Exposure: Sheltered.
• Flowering Season: Sping/ Summer.
• Fruiting Season: Early Autumn.
• Pruning Time: Early winter.
• Soil:Well drained soil.
• Moisture: Water well in summer.

Grown in a sunny, sheltered position they will produce bountiful crops of delicious sweet fruits even in the UK.
