    Jeff Bloodworth introduction, report by Stephen F Austin Gardens:

    A seedless, continuously flowering and long fruiting season Muscadine X Vinifera grape appropriately named 'Razzmatazz'. This is our first year in the container. The darn thing flowers, flowers some more, and then continues to flower - and will set fruit all along the way if given even half a chance. Reported to sequentially produce small clusters from Sept till frost. It's self-fertile and promoted as disease resistant. All that flowering and fruiting is tiring - makes first year plant growth a bit slow. On this plant, I've snipped off a crowd of flowers in the last few months - and left two small clusters (have to test the product, of course). Verdict on this first "crop" in Texas: Small as heck, seedless, flavorful and a crispy texture I like. I suspect on older vines, fruit will be larger. The continuous flowering (and fruiting) characteristic will need managing - exactly how I'm not sure yet. This unique Jeff Bloodworth introduction is out of NC, a Vinifera X muscadine cross. It's patented and available by mail order this winter. I like it but still a bit timid to put in acreage.
