Grape New York Muscat

New York Muscat Grapes

New York Muscat Grapes are a popular variety of eating grape, producing tasty fruit that ripen in summer. The berries are large, dark blue-black when ripe, and fleshy with a lovely flavour. Birds love the fruit and will come from far and wide to feast if they are not protected. It grows as a deciduous vine, carrying lush, mid-green leaves which develop yellow tones in autumn before falling. It is generally trained onto a support structure and pruned right back each year. Left untrimmed it will easily grow to 5 m in length. This variety grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and dry periods once established. New York Muscat Grapes are commonly trained onto a fence or trellis for fruit production or grown as an attractive climber.
