Muscadine Grape - Adonis (Cutting) ^8/10

Comments: - Liked the idea of a grape that's suited to the hot humid western Sydney climate and is able to handle humidity without the need for spraying. Not disappointed by this native grape of Texas and Florida. Tough skins but very tasty distinctive flavour. Adonis is large and juicy ... very fleshy, with pips. Puts on rampant growth, so make sure it's pruned each year (autumn/winter). A helpful tip: I Googled for info on how to manage muscadine grapes successfully. Lots of help from USA ... YouTube videos. Look for the vids from Ison and follow their pruning and growing techniques.

Pretty. Growing moderately fast. A few flowers spring 2017 delivering my first fruit (one) in September 2018 which was quite red inside and tasted very good, although skin was more dark yellow rather than pink.

Has a leaf yellowing problem for which I tried using Epsom salts foliar spray. Not sure if it helped (placebo effect...)
