Fall fruiting grapes in Central FL

[RS]

Hi, can anyone recommend late season grape varieties for Central FL that fruit in fall? e.g. Granny Val, Late Fry?

Looking for a replacement for Southern Home grapes which haven't done well. Thanks in advance!

Dixie comes in as late as September. Really good tasting grapes.

I've been thinking of getting a Granny Val since Isons says it is so late. They are one of the authorities on grapes in my opinion. I have seen the native muscadines with ripe fruit as late as Thanksgiving. Speaking of native muscadine (vita munsonia), you may find that your Southern Home and other northern muscadines do better when grafted on native roots. Demko (one of the Florida grape pioneers) recommended this even for Muscadines and said that the vines were more vigorous and came into bearing sooner. Somewhere along the way convenience in propagation trumped better growth.
