Gold Monukka is a seedless table grape I selected from the Wolfskill National Repository several years ago. It has parentage Ontario x Black Monukka. It is somewhat disease hardy and bears loose clusters - both of which are good factors for southern California coastal and near-coastal regions. As the name indicates, it has a golden color when ripe.
Last Fall I planted out a cutting at the south end of my vine trellises. These are five connected T-type, 8’ tall and 16’ wide. Here it is to date:
The shoots I’ve been training upwards have overshoot the top by at least a foot, so today I tied them off horizontally onto the “T”. In the background you see my neighbor’s yard.
I’m going to have to prune the canes on these again! In terms of both fruit and vegetative growth these are the most vigorous grapes I’ve grown in my environment.
