Hi all,
Is anyone growing the McPike grape? I am trying to find out if the McPike grape, which Henry Guest McPike developed and patented in the later part of the 1800's, is still being grown in the United States.  It is a cross between a Concord and a Worden. 
It's described in Grapes of NY and is available from the USDA Germplasm repository, but would like to know if it's in any personal or commercial gardens/vineyards.

Please contact me if you are growing this grape.
