Glossy, dark-red elongated grapes are borne in profusion on manageable plants which stay under 5 ft tall. Plants are best grown in a cage versus a single stake as they are multi- branched. The flavor is sweet and tangy. Fruits hang on the vine seemingly forever and are resistant to splitting. Disease resistant and drought tolerant.
HISTORY: These seeds are from fruits that I purchased at a roadside farm stand in Islamorada, FL in March, 2013. The woman who ran the farm stand said they were purchased from a farm in Homestead, FL, so I have to assume they were a hybrid. Now at F7, chances of continued segregation is low, yet possible with variability being in fruit shape for the most part.
