Description
Joy Grape is a joy to grow and eat: seedless, exceptionally fruity blue grapes with a thin skin that makes them easy to enjoy by the handful. The medium-sized fruit grows in clusters that average 10 ounces, and it resists cracking. Ripens in mid-August. Self-pollinating, bears in 2-4 years. Developed by the University of Arkansas.
May be covered by USPP #25,726 or other patents.
Exceptionally Fruity, Thin-Skinned, and Seedless
Joy delivers on its name. The medium-sized blue grapes are exceptionally fruity, with a thin skin and no seeds, so there is nothing to spit out and nothing to peel. They are a pleasure to eat fresh, straight from the vine.
Resists Cracking, With 10-Ounce Clusters
The fruit holds together well, and it resists cracking, which keeps clusters looking good and usable through harvest. The average cluster weighs 10 ounces, so a healthy vine produces a satisfying harvest.
Developed by the University of Arkansas
Joy comes out of the University of Arkansas fruit breeding program. It ripens in mid-August, and it is self-pollinating, so a single vine will produce fruit.
