Heard Woolies had some Cotton Candy grapes and got some to try today - well typical American Marketing - they dont taste at all like its name - not overly sweet - agreeable flavour but not my bag - prefer Sultana or Thomson seedless and Black Sapphires.Some also had tiny seeds so not totally seedless - i wouldnt bother growing - hope my Autumn Royals are better?

Hi Markmelb,

Good to hear reports like this. I think the 'seedless' part may disappoint. I compare it to bones in fish. I like fish, but I know many people who don't, and it's primarily because they don't like fiddling with the bones. I've never come across a seed in any Sultana grape, purchased or grown, so Cotton Candy may have to be a great taster to win over those who demand NO SEEDS.

A certain percentage of 'Pink Lady' apple crops need to be tested to meet stringent requirements in order to uphold the trademark name. Otherwise the 'Pink Lady' name can not be used, and it is a 'Cripps Pink'.

Maybe in the States, Cotton Candy grows (intentionally or not) to a sweeter profile, that they don't/didn't reach in here in Australia. So maybe we don't taste what they do over there.
Just a thought.

I like your feedback on them. After all, we eat what WE grow, so comparing them to what WE grow is the main thing :)

Thanks

Yes Brad ~ must taste alot different in California ~ maybe soil is the difference? A bit like how White Sapote can vary alot in flavour depending on where its growing.

Old thread but was anyone able to get these vines? I had these grapes from Woolies and they did have a nice cotton candy flavour. Would be fun to grow anyway.
