I am in Zone 5.


I was thinking frontenac grapes.


I think I can plant 10 or so vines.


Thanks.


Isn't this a hybrid developed by Cornell?
If so, you can probably get some good information
from them. Location: lots of sun, makes a big
difference in production also. Keep us informed
of your experience with this variety. If I had
more room, I would try some also.


Frontenac is from Minnesota and would be an acceptable choice for zone
5. There is a new patented variety from MN named Marquette that is
supposed to be better.

This link has information on both plus a couple of other cold hardy
varieties.
