Muscadine Grape (Vitis rotundifolia)

   

Exposure: Full sun. Zone 7.
Soil: Muscadine grapes prefer a well-drained acidic soil. Drought tolerant once established.
Growth habits: Muscadines are easy-to-grow, climbing or creeping native vines that are largely insect and disease proof. They have attractive leathery green foliage that leaf out and flower late, thus avoiding most late spring frosts. We recommend muscadines for elevations up to 2500’. Prune annually to maintain high production levels.
Landscape uses: Trellises, arbors, or fences in the home landscape. They are also suitable for home or commercial vineyards.
Edible/Medicinal properties: Muscadine grapes purple/black or bronze-colored fruit is sweet, musky, and delicious. Their thick skins are very high in beneficial antioxidants, Resveratrol, and anthocyanins (in the purple/black varieties) that are valuable for optimal health and disease prevention. Their grapes are wonderful fresh or can be processed into juices, wines, meads, pies, or fruit preserves.
