You must have gotten the plants at a big box store. Black Monukka in GA. doesn't have much of a chance. Being pure vinifera, it will suffer from black rot, downy and powdery mildew, Pierce's Disease, phylloxera on the roots, and several kinds of fruit rots. We won't go into what will eat the vine. If it was grafted on a phylloxera resistant rootstock and sprayed 2 to 3 times a week, you might get something from it.
Some store must have gotten a deal from a west coast nursery.

Hi All,
I just bought a Black Monukka Grape and was wondering if any of you have experience with it and how you like it.  I read that it is supposed to have traces of seeds and be good for drying into raisins.  Thanks...
