An extremely cold hardy new purple muscadine grape with premium eating quality!  The tender, purple grapes have edible skin, with floral and grape bubble gum aromatic notes.  Amazingly, this new variety from the University of Arkansas breeding program is said to withstand -10 F as a mature vine, making it extremely cold hardy.  Read on for more information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccording to UA:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMighty Fine™ (AM-70) is a black-fruited, self-fertile muscadine intended for fresh-market production and home gardens. Berries average approximately 11 g, slightly smaller than Supreme (13.6 g), but larger than many perfect-flowered cultivars (e.g., Tara 10 g). Fruit are notable for their outstanding flavor and texture. Soluble solids are consistently high, typically 18–21 Brix, the skins are tender and edible, and it has a classic muscadine flavor with floral and grape bubble gum aromatic notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe cultivar ripens in early to mid-September in Clarksville, Arkansas, approximately one week earlier than Supreme. Berries detach readily and have a high proportion of dry stem scars, contributing to acceptable postharvest performance. In storage evaluations, Mighty Fine™ maintained favorable skin and flesh texture and compared well with established fresh-market cultivars.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVines are vigorous, productive, and consistently healthy under Arkansas growing conditions. One of the most notable characteristics of Mighty Fine™ is its cold tolerance. During the February 2021 Arctic outbreak, when temperatures fell below –10 °F in Clarksville, vines experienced minimal injury while all fresh-market muscadine cultivars grown at the UADA research vineyard (including Supreme, Black Beauty, Tara, and Summit) were killed to the ground. This performance, combined with strong vine health and balanced cropping, suggests good adaptation to the Upper South and other regions where winter injury can limit muscadine production.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"selection\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey traits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-fertile (perfect flowers)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge black berries (≈11 g)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh sweetness (18–21 °Brix)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTender edible skin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDry stem scar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEarly-mid season ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVigorous and productive vines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced cold tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCANNOT SHIP TO CA, WA, OR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNATURALLY GROWN -\u003c\/span\u003e no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, neo-nictinoids, or other pesticides or toxic ag chemicals used at our nursery \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eUses:\u003c\/span\u003e Excellent fresh eating, juicing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePollination:\u003c\/span\u003e Grapes do not need pollination in order to set full crops.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eResistant to\u003c\/span\u003e: Extremely resistant to fruit rots and black rot, mildew, fungus and insects.  Very cold hardy selection once fully established.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlant Size:\u003c\/span\u003e 2 YR, approximately 18-36\" bare-root vines with excellent root systems.  Shipped potted from May-September.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones 7-9.
