[NAFEX] muscadines for the north?

Jupiter is a seedless MUSCAT grape.  Muscat is a special flavor/aroma  
in bunch grapes and though muscat and muscadine sound similar, there is  
no relation between the two.  Jupiter does NOT have any muscadine  
ancestry.
The mistake is common enough it's written up in The Grape Grower.

Melissa,

I thought that I remembered reading on the list a ways back that  
Jupiter, a seedless muscadine (cross?), was rated to zone 5 or  
thereabouts. I was going to try it with additional cover in zone 4.

Here's a link to the description:
