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.
