Lissa says... http://www.theproducehunter.com/Newsletter.asp This is the only source I can find and I suspect he's in America. Have sent him a query all the same. | About the Author Lissa Strathpine Qld 8th July 2011 7:31pm #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

gus says... I just returned from Japan a week ago and tried them again. I think they are great. The skin is fairly thick and a bit sour, but it is easy to deskin them in your mouth and suck down the sweet centre. the Japanese don't eat the skin and most of the grapes have no pips. These greapes are very expensive to buy, like ten dollars for a little punnet. I brought in a cutting and declared it, but of course customs wouldn't let it through. I thought it was worth a try though. I would love to grow these grapes too, although based on the extortionate price and the freezing winter that Japan has, perhaps our environment isn't suitable, or perhaps they are very hard to grow? | About the Author gus karrinyup 27th July 2011 2:27pm #UserID: 3596 Posts: 216 View All gus's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Muscat grapes are used to make dessert wines :) They are very sweet and "grapey" - my favourite grape. The skin is quite tough so you can squeeze the jelly like insides straight into your mouth.....delicious. I have a white italian muscat and a black (wortley hall) muscat - they do quite well here by the coast. They are grown the world over - but getting varieties in Aust might be tough :-( | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

amanda says... I would say so gus - you may need to do some research. I am right near the ocean so it gets pretty humid here at times - mine grow very well. There's probably some lovely old varieties of grapes in many backyards (thanks to our Italian immigrants from way back) Wandering down the old dunny-cart laneways in places like West Leederville and areas of Wembley and Freo - and checking out the ovewrhanging fruit trees can be a voyage of discovery! :) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Lissa says... Daleys are now selling a Chambourcin grape which they say is suitable for my area. Trouble is, postage costs more than the plant: A hybrid wine grape that is well suited to coastal climates. The black fruit is medium to large with excellant tolerance to Downey Mildew. Good table variety for backyards in humid climates, heavy cropper of rich flavoursome grapes when left to fully ripen on vines.

Dennis says... I've had them Kyoho grapes a couple of years ago in Perth. There is a private grower in Swan Valley in WA. Here is the contact: Bella Ridge Estate 78 Campresic Road Herne Hill WA 6056 Australia Tel.: 08 9250 4962 Fax: 08 9246 0244 I had them a couple of years ago, so I'm not sure if they still grow them. They're a bit more expensive but they are well worth the price. | About the Author Dennis4 Perth, WA 1st September 2011 3:45pm #UserID: 5759 Posts: 2 View All Dennis4's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Im pretty sure Kyoho is/was grown in Tas, so could be available. For export to Japan they were tried in a greenhouse for best quality fruit. Winter should be fine in Tas but summer much more hotter+humid in Japan. I'm sure you could set up some protection for a few vines. Try to google Kyoho Tasmania, quite a few results. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 13th May 2015 12:44pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
