I am having a pergola installed as a cover for a front porch (approx 15' x 40'). What would your suggestions be for the best grape to do well in South Florida but is also a good eating grape. The spot is almost full light with some sections filtered by a large tree. Also looking to buy/trade those grapes if you know where they are sold or have any. Willing to swap budwood from any of my almost 200 mango trees for this as well.

You could do passion fruit as well on a pergola. Muscadine are the best type of grape for humid weather .

Grapes are a mess in my experience. Thry get powdery mildew and turn brown during cold months. Need to be pruned to keep neat and green.
Passionfruit is a much cleaner plant and stays green all year.

Blue Lake does well here. It is a bunch grape not a muscadine. They do lose leaves in winter.

I have a bunching muscadine "Tara". One plant can run 20' each direction.
All leaves will drop in Jan. Feb. "then I know to prune".

Central Florida here but any of the muscadine types do well here.
Southern home, a bunch grape muscadine cross has done very well at my place also

I'm growing Lane and Carlos muscadines. Both do well in Miramar / 10B. I don't recommend Carlos for out-of-hand eating, tho. It's more of a wine/juice grape.

Scott
