Are there any seeded grapes planted in the neighborhood within 300 feet of
your seedless grapes? If so, that will affect the outcome. Some seedless
grapes still have small soft seeds, but not like you described.

How old are the plants? I know of a flowering crab apple tree that flowered
for the first 4 or 5 years, and then started bearing apples. They taste
fantastic, but aren't supposed to be there at all.

Hi
I have a Canadice seedless grape vine and a Stueben vine (like concord)
planted side by side.

The first year I got grapes from the Canadice they were seedless as they
should be.
Then, we had 2 bad winters where both vines died right back to the ground.
This year, I got about 6 clusters off the Canadice and some grapes had
seeds. Some seeds were very small but some were normal size.

The local nursery says that it shouldn't happen but I think some cross
pollination is going on or the Canadice is a plant grafted onto a base
plant which does have seeds and after the die back I'm getting branches
and grapes from the base plant.

Anyone know what's happening?

Tnx
Wayne
