		Grapes hang onto stem better than Fredonia but are not quite as sweet.
		They should be supported on a 2-strand wire fence or on a trellis, and, in very cold regions, pruned to a low-headed double trunk, so that the tough woody part stays close to the ground and the more flexible canes can be bent down to be covered with mulch in winter.
		Grape plants should be spaced 6 to 8 feet apart, with 6 to 8 feet between rows.

	Blue Door Vineyard :: Elmer Swenson Grape Breeding Pioneer
		Elmer Swenson became fascinated by grapes as a child, and the Wisconsin dairy farmer spent 60 years tinkering in his spare time to produce a sweet-tasting table grape to rival the varieties from California.
		In 1944, as Swenson was beginning his work with grapes, the University of Minnesota held a public open house at the Horticultural Research Center in Chanhassen.
		It was these grapes that overcame the central problem of growing in a cold region: the vines were able to survive the winters and the fruit tasted good.
