StarLight they shouldn't be.
The names mustang and possum grape should be reserved for the wild grapes we have here.
They are not sweet and can only be used for jelly with tons of sugar.
If you try to eat one from the vine it is horrible and will make your mouth burn from the skin.
The muscadine on the other hand doesn't grow like a regular grape and only puts on a few fruit per cluster.
They are huge and very sweet.
They are also native to the Americas and are practically immune to your normal grape diseases.
They also grow well in sorry soil.
