It is half fox grape and does well in the south provided you prune for air circulation and (like most grapes) proactively treat for mildew. In warm spring areas like the south, the fruit is ripe extra early compared to other grapes.

Sounds like one I should try. I have ordered some Southern Home hybrids that are supposed to be resistant to Pierce. They have Muscadine in the "sap" line and the gwss may not like that. I'm not sure. I plan to plant on T Bars between my citrus rows so air circulation shoud be good.
The FSU are doing breeding to create a good wine grape and are using the muscadine as genetic material to make it work in the deep south.
