Dave,

  Do you know where Petite Jewel can be purchased?  My web searches have come up empty.

 

Thanks,

Lon,

 

I've been growing Petite Jewel here in central MN,zone 4a since '92 with only 2 crop failures due to cold - one of these was last year when many of the native plants also had damage, and still it set about 1/4 crop. I find Canadice to be bland and mushy by comparison, but maybe that is because PJ is better adapted here and vice versa? Its a wonderful grape here and makes great jam with the vestigial seeds, un-noticeable fresh, cooking up to give it a unique nutty crunch. Its the textural experience of wheat bread with PJ jam on white toast.

Petite Jewel is a good grape, but it's main value is the increased hardiness.  Otherwise, it's like a small berried version of Canadice.

I've enjoyed the discussions about Petite Jewel and am very interested in
growing it.  Where can one get cuttings or plants?
