Norton seems to be succeeding to some degree about as far as southern Iowa. It ripens later than Concord, and hardiness is probably no more than Concord at best.

Concord does fine here; many people grow things a lot less hardy than Concord. The wild swings in winter temperatures lately have taken quite a toll on some of the more tender varieties, but last year at least there was very little damage on Concords.

How much later than Concord does it ripen? Is it later than Catawba?
