A web search took me to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lecooke.com\/le-cooke-blog\/Praise-for-Blueberry-and-Venus-Grapes.html\">an L.E. Cooke webpage<\/a> that included a testimonial letter about the variety from a grower down in San Diego:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We really adore this grape. Its taste and texture so closely resemble a blueberry, one almost can forget it really is a grape . . . It is sweet but rich, with a surprising burst of blueberry flavor and bite, and never mushy . . . In addition to its excellent taste, the big leaves are extremely ornamental, turning bright red in winter, and lingering on the vine through December in our region.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it was signed by &#8220;Robin Rivet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wait, I know Robin.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next time I saw her I mentioned running into her testimonial letter. &#8220;I grow some Blueberry grapevines and like them too,&#8221; I told her. &#8220;I grew them from cuttings I got from Frank.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Frank started his vines from cuttings he got from me!&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s wild how plants make their way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN5211-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN5211-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120\" style=\"width:352px;height:235px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN5211-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN5211-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/DSCN5211-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of my original cuttings of Blueberry grape, rooted and leafing out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where to get a Blueberry grapevine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in tasting this variety, I have no idea where to send you.

Sadly, L.E. Cooke closed its nursery business a few years ago, but Dave Wilson is now propagating Blueberry grape plants as they took over some of the unique varieties once grown by L.E. Cooke. Some nurseries are also propagating their own Blueberry grape plants, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/redwoodbarn.com\/\">Redwood Barn Nursery<\/a> in Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Read more about L.E. Cooke and its closing <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/buy-fruit-tree\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lecooke.com\/le-cooke-blog\/l-e-cooke-co-bare-root-nursery-division-closure.html\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or join a local chapter of <a href=\"https:\/\/crfg.org\/\">California Rare Fruit Growers<\/a> and seek a cutting of Blueberry at this winter&#8217;s scion exchange. Lots of CRFG members have this variety. I will make cuttings of my own Blueberry grapevines available at the scion exchange of the <a href=\"https:\/\/growrarefruit.org\/\">North County San Diego chapter<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen Blueberry grape plants being sold online, but I don&#8217;t know how trustworthy these sources are or whether they&#8217;re selling the real Blueberry variety profiled here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More posts on grapes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/growing-grapes-on-a-chain-link-fence\/\">Growing grapes on a chainlink fence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/grapevine-on-eave-to-shade-house\/\">Grapevine on eave to shade house<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/propagating-grapes\/\">Propagating grapes with cuttings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/supporting-the-yard-posts\/\">help me<\/a> continue writing Yard Posts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of my Yard Posts are listed&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/list-of-yard-posts\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Paul McLane gave the L.E.
