The Reliance Grape, 'Vitis 'Reliance', is a red medium-sized, seedless table grape with high dessert quality. It is well suited for fresh eating, or can be used for juice. Reliance requires annual pruning, adequate fertilization and maximum sunlight, and it ripens early September. Reliance grapes have a wide array of colors which they pass through before becoming a beautiful purple color, at which they are ready to eat. Color varies from red to a rather light pink, depending on climate, and it may be edible even when it shows almost no color at all. Will crack if weather is rainy during ripening time. Reliance has one of the better vines, and it is easy to train to cordons with spurs. This grape is one of the best tasting, red seedless table grape. Grapes are primarily grown for fruit production in home fruit gardens where they provide good ornamental value: bold summer foliage, showy fruit, some fall color and shaggy, twisted trunking and branching often best seen in winter. Grapes need a good support system like fences, walls, trellises, arbors or other structures. The grape vines can be quite attractive year-round and can provide good cover, screening, or shade to areas around the home. Grapes need full sunlight and high temperatures to ripen, so plant on southern slopes, the south side of windbreaks, or the south sides of buildings. Considered to be a good grape for juices and jellies. Birds love grapes, so be sure to plant some to share.
