What amazing vines these are. I bought them (2)as rooted cuttings and planted them on a 1.8m vine. Their first season theygrew past the top wire and then set a couple of small bunches of small seeded black grapes. During the last spring (2016) they set 48 large bunches of these small black grapes which I thinned by cutting the bunches in half so that the final fruit was larger. We are harvesting every couple of days. They are not table grapes but when chilled are very refreshing and very moreish.

Dec 2017 A small crop for this year to be expected after last year's

Grape - Sultana H5 (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: -

I love this grape! Our neighbour grew it in Sth Australia and when we moved to Qld we grew a vine for some years before we lost it during building renovations. I brought these vines last year and they have boomed since they were planted. Yet to fruit but I expect to see a good crop next year.

April 2015: This variety seems to be a really vigorous grower and it has had no difficulty in sending out canes 4 metres or so long. The vines are almost dormant now and are soon to be cane pruned as spur prunning does not suit them

Dec 2017 No crop again this year ..  will try to graft another variety

Muscadine Grape - Adonis (Cutting)

Comments: -

I bought  this Adonis Muscadine and a Nobel about 18 months ago and planted them alongside my 4 Vitus Vinifera on the same trellis. Both reached the top wire in short time and both produced fruit in their first season, the Noble a couple of small bunches of small black grapes of little flesh and quite a few seeds. The Adonis produced several bunches of large golden, sweet, seeded grapes, quite different from what we tend to expect with our Vitus Vinifera varieties. What I didn't expect was the Adonis would continue to flower and ripen these small bunches throughout the year!

What I learnt was that the Muscadines were rampant and after investigating I found out that in the lower eastern states of the US where they are native is that they need more room and a different trellising system from my other varieties. It seems that in the US they give the Muscadines 3m of trellis on each side often using a single wire set about 1.5-1.8m above the ground. They seem to be spur pruned and left with long cordons.

So my Muscadines have to be moved and I have room for only one plant so it does not take any imagination as to which one will survive the transitiion.
