Grapes for Texas
 

I live in the Houston, TX area USDA zone 8b with summer heat and humidity. I
am looking for some white eating grapes to grow on an arbor in my backyard.
I tried some grapes in the past without much luck, as grapes generally do
not grow well in my area. I have read a bit and not found much as far as the
best variety. I have found a few red grape varieties for my area but for my
purposes I need white grapes. My local nursery has a lot of "white diamond"
variety. I read that it is a grape for New York area. I know that the
nurseries will sell you anything that you will buy so I thus far have not
bought that one. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.

Go to the Winery below which is located near you in Santa Fe Texas near
Dickinson, Texas. If you ask them, I think they can advise you of what
will grow in your area.
