Grape story

A grape cluster begins the year before

Next season’s cluster starts forming inside a winter bud.

Read the illustrations
Grape illustration: A cluster inside a bud

A cluster inside a bud

A grapevine bud contains tiny structures that may become shoots, leaves, and flower clusters the following year.

Grape illustration: Seedless grapes can leave a trace

Seedless grapes can leave a trace

Many seedless grapes begin the normal fertilization process, but the embryo stops developing before a hard seed forms.

Grape illustration: The tip ripens last

The tip ripens last

Berries near the end of a cluster often ripen later. Grapes do not become sweeter once picked.
