NW maritime climate:
We were given some thornless Marionberries. In the end we decided that the berry was just tooooo plain and tasteless compared to the believe you me THORNY Marionberries.
So, we have two posts with wire, about 10 feet long, waiting for something. I’m thinking seedless grapes for fresh eating. Any suggestions on the best variety (green and purple)? We might try something else. I’ve been looking at unusual fruit from Raintree Nursery, Territorial Seed and One Green World catalogs.
Anybody from the NW really, really happy with a grape or unusual fruit?
We already grow: blueberries, apples, marionberries, raspberries, rhubarb and have a few raised beds for vegetables.
Study up on Kiwi culture and care. You need one male plant to three or four female and they are picked late in the year. I think we picked ours in Nov or Dec here in Humboldt County Cal...
We have AWESOME grapes for sale. Any of the hardier ones should be fine in the NW, BUT we can’t ship to Oregon or Washington! At least you can get some ideas here, and possibly find these varieties locally:

I grow ‘Concord’ and ‘King of the North’ and will be adding ‘Frontenac Gris’ to my garden this year, as well as our new ‘Black Ice’ Plum for fresh eating and jam. :)
