Description
Description
Black Monukka is a seedless Vitis vinifera table grape valued for elongated clusters of crisp, sweet, purple-black fruit. The grapes are suited to fresh eating and drying as raisins. This product is one dormant bare-root vine.
Black Monukka grape vine details
- Plant form: One dormant bare-root grape vine
- USDA hardiness zones: 6–10
- Pollination: Self-fruitful; a second grape variety is not required for fruit set
- Harvest: Commonly late summer into early fall; timing varies with climate and growing conditions
- Pruning: Cane prune during dormancy and train on a sturdy trellis, arbor, or wire system
- Fruit: Medium seedless berries with dark purple-black skin and crisp, sweet flesh
Planting and care
Plant in full sun, with at least seven to eight hours of direct light, in soil that drains well. Provide permanent support before vigorous growth begins. Water deeply after planting and as needed during establishment, allowing excess water to drain. Annual dormant pruning is essential because grape clusters form on shoots arising from one-year-old wood.
Harvest and shipping notes
Grapes do not continue to ripen after harvest, so taste fruit on several clusters before picking. A dormant bare-root vine may arrive leafless; that is normal for the seasonal shipping form. Local weather, pruning, vine age, and care affect establishment and harvest timing.
Compare this vine with other table grape vines, browse all grape vines, or use the related grape-growing guides on this page.
Allow the berries to sweeten fully on the vine whether they will be eaten fresh or dried after harvest.

Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee
* Claim deadline is June 15th
We guarantee that your dormant tree or plant will arrive in good, viable condition. If your tree arrives in substandard condition, notify us within 3 days of delivery. Please email pictures of the box, inside packaging, the tree and its roots to helpdesk@groworganic.com. For qualifying claims involving perishable items that arrive in substandard condition, we will provide a refund of the affected item’s purchase price, excluding shipping costs. At our discretion, we may offer a replacement instead, subject to product availability and shipping feasibility. You may accept the replacement (if we are able to offer one) or receive the refund.
If your dormant tree or plant has not grown new leaves by May 15th, you may be eligible for our Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee. This guarantee provides for a store credit for the purchase price of the tree, excluding shipping. Please see the Instructions below.
Important Dates:
All dormant-tree and plant guarantee deadlines apply in the calendar year you receive your order. Plant by April 1. If no new leaves have appeared by May 15, contact Customer Service for assessment. Submit your claim and all required documentation by June 15 of that same year.
- April 1st Dormant trees/plants must be planted in the ground
- May 15th Contact Customer Service for assessment if no new leaves have grown
- June 15th Deadline to apply for a dormant tree/plant credit
All required documentation must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. Claims or documentation received after June 15th will be denied, without exception. Instructions listed below
Terms and Conditions
We cannot guarantee that your tree or plant will remain alive and healthy after it is received, or bear fruit as there are too many variables in your environment that are beyond our control (i.e. soil preparation, weed and pest control, proper irrigation, chill hours, compatible hardiness for your growing zone, proper choice of pollinator, extreme weather, rodent damage, disease, etc.).
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide a replacement tree/plant of the same species either that same growing season or in future years. Customers are responsible for all shipping fees associated with replacement trees and plants.
If we determine that the tree you purchased directly from us is not viable, we will issue you a store credit (not a refund) for the purchase price of the affected dormant tree or plant. Shipping is not included in the dormant tree/plant guarantee. Store credits can be used to purchase any product we sell. Store credit issued under the Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee expires on July 1 of the calendar year following delivery. Previously issued credits retain their original terms.
Historically, 98% of our dormant trees and plants grow and thrive when they have been cared for and planted using our growing guides. Dormant trees and plants must be planted in the ground by April 1st in order to be eligible for credit. If the ground in your area is still frozen solid, you may temporarily plant your tree or plant in a pot.
Potted, non-dormant trees or plants are excluded from this guarantee as they are not dormant at the time of shipment. Evergreen trees such as citrus, avocado and olive trees are not available for credit under the Dormant Tree and Plant Guarantee.
Instructions
We guarantee that your dormant fruit tree or plant will leaf out, if you care for it according to our growing guides. In the unlikely event that your dormant tree or plant does not have leaves by May 15th, follow these simple steps to apply for a store credit:
Contact Customer Service with your order number, the plant name, the quantity affected, and photos of the entire plant and visible affected areas. Do not dig up a planted tree or plant for this initial review. Our team may request additional photos or guide you through a scratch test or root inspection when needed to evaluate your claim. All applicable guarantee deadlines still apply.
Green Cambium Layer / Living Trees
If the cambium layer under the bark is green, give your tree a little more time. It is still alive, but hasn’t come out of dormancy yet. Check to make sure that it is getting the right amount of deep root water, enough sunlight and that the weather is warm enough for that type of tree/plant to come out of dormancy. Every tree has its own personality and will come out of dormancy at different times. Be sure to submit the required documentation listed below by June 15th, if it doesn’t grow leaves.
Brown Cambium Layer / Dead Trees
If the scratch test shows a brown cambium layer or if your dormant tree/plant doesn’t have leaves by May 15th, please email us at helpdesk@groworganic.com. All required documentation listed below must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. To be considered for the guarantee claim, all required documentation must be received by June 15th. Incomplete submissions will be denied.
Required Documentation
- Order number
- Name of dormant tree/plant and the quantity affected
- Photos of each tree or plant showing:
- Visible affected areas; additional root inspection photos only if requested by our team
- The scratch test areas, only if our team requests a scratch test
- The entire tree/plant
We reserve the right to not issue credit for items that have already been replaced. We also reserve the right to require photographic evidence that the tree/plant was not killed by root rot, rodent or mechanical damage.

I just received the Black Monukka Grape and the plant looks amazing! It’s bare root, but has some small buds already forming. I’ve ordered from other companies and when I’ve finally planted them it’s always “we’ll see if they make it”. However with this plant, I know it will survive and thrive! I’m really looking forward to seeing it grow and produce grapes.
Healthy bareroot vine. Got it planted right away in the garden area. Growing it up and along the top of the fence line. Heard the grapes are delicious and can't wait to have my own homegrown fruit. Planted in late January, vine is waking up now and showing signs of life.
Large beautiful plants. Already waking up, can’t wait for grapes
I first try these about 30 years ago while working at the Fresno CA. Airport. I had two helpers and one of them had 40 acres of them. We worked at night while the hanger was most empty because of radiation dangers. At harvest time he would bring a box full which we put in a refrigerator to cool. During our shift we ate many. They are great tasting cool. The guy gave me some cuttings, which I took home to plant. My family couldn't get enough of them as they ripened.
