    There's lots of information about different types of grapes and how to grow them. However, whenever I visit different nurseries in the Vancouver, B.C. area, I come across just the same few varieties. Does anyone know where to get specific varieties locally? Also, I just assume that no U.S. mailorder will work due to restrictions.

    Specifically, I'm looking for a seedless black/purple table grape. I'm looking for Concord Seedless, Mars or any other variety that would be good for this area.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the info. I did see that variety but I've read that it is not a very good tasting grape. Is that not the case?

    I guess you have to be the judge as far as flavor goes for Coronation. It's sold in various retail outlets in Western Canada. If you like a labrusca table grape it's quite good and has a loyal consumer following. There are other selections you could try.
