I've never used the Gardner's Corner before, but I figured this question might belong here.
Anyways, is it technically possible to create a giant hybrid grape? I've tried googling it, but found nothing. I've never heard of giant grapes before, but I always have that imagination that enables me to create giant grapes in my head. :grin:

Large or giant grapes are all fine and good..... IF they don't sacrifice taste at the same time. One of the smallest grapes I use for winemaking (Syrrahs) have the largest seeds as well, but they produce an excellent wine grape.
