According to the nursery man, this is the Muscat grape plant. Not sure of its origin though. We bought one, for about RM40 and he lectured us on how to have the plant bore fruits!! So, finally after about 12 months with us, the fruits are here!!!

They are still in infancy stage.... But according to friends, grapes planted in Malaysia will turn out to be sour. We'll just see about it :-( . A tip that I followed was to prune the plant, leaving just a number of leaves on it. After about 3 to 4 weeks, the fruits came out.
Grape plant too is good for giving shade. Try planting it at your pergola and you'll find the plant creeping almost instantly with its large leaves.
(NOTE: Grrr...the grape turned purplish in May 2011, but luck was not on our side. Hubby took a look the next day and the fruits were gone!!)
