| Bought a grape labeled as "kay gray". By removing the tag I found a sticker that says "himrod". The plant doesnt resemble himrod to me, but when I contacted the nursery they said the odds are that the plant is what the sticker said. Himrod leaves are more lobed to my knowledge.... |

| It looks healthy. What does it matter? Here is a link to the national grape registry. You can spend the hours there that most of us don't have the time to do. Good luck! Accept the conditions, and enter a world you never knew existed! |

| It matters because humrod isnt hardy here without work, kay gray should be almost bullet proof. Totally different pruning and training methods here too for either or |

| Here is a himrod leaf just emerging. It is a little early to tell differences I leaf shapes but here it is:) The himrod leafs are glossy top and bottom , and the kaygray leafs are dull and underside have a kind of fuzzy bloom. If it is himrod you will have to lay it down in the fall.If I don't lay mine down and cover it either dies to the ground or just below snowline(if it snows early enough before it get really cold). |

| Well the 1st thing I thought when I saw it was of wild muscadine grapes in the southeast US. I'd be inclined to believe it is a Kay Grape if that's what the label says, they are mostly right. The leaf becomes less shiny as they age. |
