Vitis vinifera 'Fantasy Seedless'
Light: Full sun, ideally with morning exposure and protection from intense western afternoon sun. Preserve leaf cover over fruit to reduce sunburn.
Water: Water deeply and regularly during active growth, especially while fruit develops and during extreme heat. Let the upper few inches of soil dry between irrigations; reduce watering substantially during winter dormancy.
Soil: Deep, well-drained loam is ideal. Incorporate compost into the planting area and mulch the root zone, keeping mulch away from the trunk. Avoid waterlogged soil; Phoenix’s alkaline soil may cause iron deficiency.
Mature size: Typically 15–25 feet long, potentially larger if unpruned; height and spread depend on the support and annual pruning.
Bloom: Small flower clusters appear in spring; fruit ripens in summer, with timing dependent on local heat and growing conditions.
Evergreen / deciduous: Deciduous.
Growth rate: Fast with adequate water and nutrition.
