Hi all,

It would be nice if you could tell me where I can get this variety of grape vine in Melbourne please. I have just bought some in ALDI and those grapes are delicious.

Many thanks

I've never heard of it, but some varieties of fruit are only available commercially. In that case, you would have to buy huge amounts of cuttings, and it is illegal for the grower to sell
them (the cuttings).

I hope that is not the case, but I know either Flame seedless or Red Globe are not available to the public. Good luck with your search (and try Google).

Many thanks Julie. I didnot know that some varieties of fruit are only available commercially. In that case I will wait and hope one day that variety is available to the public.

Midnight Beauty seedless is similar to Beauty sedless (a variety I wanted to get but don't have rooms for 10 canes) .... a truly black seedless grape.
The minimum that you could buy is 10 canes, and if I remember correctly, it is available only once a year.
In some years, cane are not offered for sale at all.
Look up the Viticulture Board of WA (somewhere near Margaret River ?) and they will advise you.

hmmm...anyone interested in buying some of these vines but don't need all 10? found the grapes in woolies and they are yum! would love to be able to grow them myself.

I'm located in Perth...so I guess they'd have to be located somewhere in WA...I'm willing to travel outside of Perth to pick them up too

Yes, I would be interested in sharing some of these vines and we are also in Perth. I think they are great. Just the way we like our grapes - large, meaty, seedless, but full of flavour and juicy.

I would like one too, if they are as good as you say. Seems we might be able to come up with enough people to buy ten - don't know about the logistics of collecting and paying for them.

I guess the same as sharing a Daley's order, which I haven't done. How does it work?

Shaun, did you come up with a price?

Foiled again! Finally tracked down where to buy them, and it is too late this year. $77 for 10 cuttings, and it seems you have to pay a membership of $11 too.

I might still be interested next year, but need to be a lot more organised!

Charles, I think it is just too late to place an order - they may not have been pruned yet. The date was 30th April from memory.

I guess they need to know well beforehand how many are wanted. Let's hope someone remembers in time next year and reminds us all. We would need to start getting organised sometime in March I think.

I think it was a WA Ag Dept address, but I will check again nearer the time.

That would be great sg. Now it's just a case of remembering at the right time of year. Interest shown in 7 cuttings so far, so only another 3 needed - and I'm sure that won't be a problem.

Sorry, I was away for a while, and did not see the latest posts in here.
Julie, the answer to your question and Helors question can be found in my post for Beauty Seedless forim
https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/beauty-seedless-grape-vines/

I am interested in Midnight Beauty Seedless too.
Please count me in for 1 or 2 canes next year when it is time to place the order.
So, it seems that we now have enough people to share the 'bunble of 10 canes'.
I was looking for Beauty Seedless but Midnight Beauty Seedless will be OK too.

At this stage, we should get co-ordinated and someone should have the email (and phone?) contact of all interested parties.
Any volunteer for the task, please?

Maroo seedless is available in some Bunnings Warehouse garden centres.

Yeah Maroo is pretty easy to find. I haven't seen Midnight Beauty though- pretty sure it's not been released for public sale.

Hi!
Have just read all the stuff above. I had the same problem - found midnight beauty grapes at woolies and they are so yummi! It's time to remind everyone to order a bunch of canes and I'd be in for it with 2-3! I'd also be happy to organise it all, if you like. I'd just need the details where to get them?

Hi Dirk. You had better check that it will be OK to send to S.A.

It might be easier to organise from this end, as snottie is probably nearer the source. But I agree, time to start thinking about it. Thanks for the kind offer though.

Still up for it snottie?

This is the reply I got when I contacted them so where do we go from here?

Dear David,

The ASVO does not sell grapevine cuttings. I suggest you contact a local vine nursery or the department of primary industries office in your area.



Many thanks

Paul

most unfortunately I've been told by those responsible in Australia that only licensed commercial growers can have midnight beauty.
http://www.sun-world.com/Grapes#MIDNIGHT_BEAUTY


Daniel, Shaun Julie etc - the list mentioned in the other thread https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/beauty-seedless-grape-vines/) does not have midnight beauty in it now. it does have beauty seedless and maroo (marroo). maybe this is what julie saw / maybe they changed it and we missed out? Or did I miss something?

Hi Julie,
It tried to fruit, but because it was its first year in the ground I cut the fruit off so it would put its energy into growing. I probably didn't need to - it seems to grow quite fast!

Hi Bobby,
To be fair, this is a forum hosted at no cost to us by the generous people at Daley's. You may be stepping on their toes by offering propagating material here for sale under their noses. May I suggest contacting Daley's directly.
We do the odd swap between members here but nothing to impact Daley's bottom line.

When I scan the list the last time (several years ago), I only remember seeing Beauty Seedless.
I clearly noted that Midnight Beauty was not listed.
Hope this helps to clarify the situation.

There was a CSIRO developed seedless, large black table grape at Bunnings today - called Marroo (I think) anyway - it's the aboriginal word for black..
Might be worth checking out.

To the last few posters looking for Midnight Beauty - if you go back through the thread you'll find that we looked into sourcing canes and were told that its only available to licensed commercial growers :(

I managed to find a Maroo plant at Bunnings the other day though, and hoping its as sweet and tasty as the Midnight Beauty!

This is a bit of an old thread but I'll post to who ever is still looking for Midnight Beauties. They are only in season between June-Sept and you can buy these at Costco. This is kind of funny, the label says they come from an Asexual reproduction of patented plants from SunWorld. Does that mean they are celebrate? WTF?
Hmmm, i don't know? These grapes are freakin huge so maybe it means they are genetically altered? I'll let you be the judge.

Grape ape, asexual reproduction means they are propagated by cutting in this case. Sexual reproduction means growing from seed, which would mean the seedling would be different than the parent and therefore not Midnight Beauty. Other forms of asexual reproduction include marcot, grafting, tissue culture, truncheon, layering, etc...
