Two New Seedless Grape Varieties

This image is of black Monukka grape.  This is one of the very best seedless table grapes for our area.  The fruit is a deep purplish black color, very crisp, very sweet with a rich flavor.  It is delicious fresh or as raisins.  No seeds!  It is thought to have originated from a Persian grape ‘Munaqqa’ which translates to raisin.  Sweeter than Thompson Seedless and its raisins have a richer flavor.  It has a tender skin so is not a good supermarket grape but is WONDERFUL for backyard growers.  Yum.  Available at Shady Creek.

Another delightful seedless grape, this one green, named Delight will be available..  Nice and sweet, ripens early.  The flavor is a light Muscat.  The shoots have a tendency to short internodes that make the vines more bushy.  The result is a vine that is slower to establish but easier to handle.
