At the mention of Sapphire grapes, everyone is surely familiar with them.

1. Introduction to Sapphire grapes:
1. Are Sapphire grapes genetically modified food?
Sapphire grapes are not genetically modified food; they are a new grape variety. The reason many people think they are genetically modified food is that this Sapphire grape variety is rarely seen on the market, and the berries are much larger than ordinary grapes, so it is misunderstood. In fact, this claim is a rumor with no credibility, and people can buy and eat them with confidence.
2. Can Sapphire grape vines survive if planted in the south?
Sapphire grapes can survive if planted in the south. Planting generally starts around March each year, and it is enough to take rain-shelter measures in summer and autumn. But it is best to plant them in China's Shandong Province and along that line. This is because Sapphire grapes are suited to growing at 25 degrees, with winter temperatures not lower than 10 degrees; if the temperature is too low, growth will be affected, leading to reduced yield, and the south is not its best planting area.
2. Roughly how much does a Sapphire grape vine cost per plant?
The price of Sapphire grape vines is very affordable, roughly around 12 yuan per plant, but because of differences in place of origin, market and quality, the price will vary to some extent.
