Long John Grapes

Long John. A cross of Vitis lincecumii "Big Berry" x Triumph mix, Made by T.V. Munson in Denison, Texas in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Possibly named for the character in Treasure Island. Very large, late ripening black berries are very mild wih no American type flavor. At it’s best here In a hot season. Enormous leaves, some of the biggest, healthiest ones in my collection. This should be tried by more growers. Prune to canes.
