Tafeltraube 'Attika'

Season Overview

Description

The table grape 'Attika' delights with its dense foliage, which climbs up trellises and house walls in no time at all. The (bot.) Vitis vinifera 'Attika' develops its vibrant green foliage in early spring. It provides a fresh accent after the gray winter months. The intense green, five-lobed leaves shine all spring long. In contrast, the flowers of the 'Attika' table grape are inconspicuous and often only last a few days. But when the blossom appears, the anticipation is aroused. Everyone waits impatiently for the pleasure that grows here. Vitis vinifera 'Attika' is a truly beautiful sight with a high utility value. While the gardener watches with pleasure as the plant quickly climbs up the trellis, the coveted grape fruit grows. To achieve the best results, it is important to remember that the 'Attika' table grape is demanding in terms of climate. It loves a place in the sun. The sheltered south-facing wall of a house is therefore an ideal location for the plant. Here it thrives magnificently, climbing high along the building. Over time, it covers the wall with a dense carpet of leaves, giving the house a wonderful appearance. The clever plant lover trains its growth so that it easily entwines windows and doors. To avoid long, overhanging shoots, additional pruning in summer is recommended in addition to winter pruning. This ensures that the wall covered with Vitis 'Attika' always looks neat and tidy. To do this, the gardener cuts back the shoots that take the light away from the fruit. In the fall or early spring, shorten the shoots down to a few eyes. It is advisable to cut the plant back by a third to a half.
