Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of the muscadine grape plant, Vitis rotundifolia Michx., which has exceptionally good flavor, firm flesh texture with relatively thin skin, and a larger berry than the current grapes that are produced commercially. The vines of this cultivar are vigorous, productive and disease resistant.

Description

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT[0001]This research was supported by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services grant contract number 000465.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention comprises a new and distinct plant cultivar of Vitis rotundifolia Michx., which has been given the name ‘Majesty’. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are the most pronounced characteristics of this new cultivar when grown in Florida, and which in combination distinguish it from existing cultivars:[0003]1) Vigorous vine growth, high fruit yield, and disease resistant.[0004]2) Very large red-black colored fruit, which is 3-4 grams more than the largest muscadine variety.[0005]3) Very good flavor.[0006]4) Low fruit rot and relatively low wet scar.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0007]The accompanying color photograph shows a representative section of a typical specimen of the new cultivar.[0008]This photograph is a detailed view of several clusters of ripe berries, obtai...
