There have been a couple discussions of this .. several of us are growing them but no fruit yet that I have heard. I had some Joy on the vine last summer but an animal, probably deer, ate them when they were still very green. The vines have been growing fine for me; they survived the harsh winter last year with little dieback. I was concerned they would be more disease prone than other hybrids but they have not had significant problems so far.

I got some beautiful Joy grape plants from Stark Bros last year. I'm going on the basis of the reputation of the U. of Arkansas breeding program and their descriptions on their website.

Here is a link that might be useful: descriptions of four grape varieties

I am growing Hope, but the vines just went in last spring. Will let you know in a few years. Mrs. G
