The main producing areas of Summer Black grapes are mostly distributed in the warm southern regions.

Summer Black grape is an early-maturing seedless variety introduced from Japan, and after being brought into the country it has been widely planted in many places. Its berries are fairly tightly clustered, and once ripe the skin turns purple-black with a noticeable bloom; the flesh is crisp and firm and carries a strawberry-like aroma, and because it is seedless with thin skin it is very convenient to eat.

In terms of producing-area distribution, Summer Black grapes are grown over a fairly wide range in the country, with southern production regions especially concentrated. In Yunnan, abundant sunlight and large day-night temperature differences allow the fruit to accumulate plenty of sugar, and it also reaches the market relatively early; the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai area mostly uses protected cultivation with meticulous management, giving fairly uniform clusters; Sichuan, Guangxi, Hunan, Anhui and other places also have block plantings, forming production regions each with its own characteristics.

Summer Black grapes have certain requirements for the producing environment, doing best in areas that are warm, sunny and easy to drain and irrigate, while deep, loose and fertile soil is more conducive to root development. In production regions with larger day-night temperature differences, the fruit's flavor tends to be richer. In cultivation, attention must be paid to controlling the yield load, promptly thinning flowers and fruit and bagging the clusters, to ensure uniform berry size and stable quality.

When selecting Summer Black grapes, you can check whether the cluster is compact and the berries plump; those with an intact bloom and fresh green stems are usually of better quality. Because the skin is thin and there are no seeds and the sweetness is fairly high, it is mainly consumed as a fresh table fruit, and it is very popular in both household consumption and the gift market.
