Muscadine Grape
Vitis rotundifolia
Muscadine grape is a vigorous, deciduous woody vine native to the warm, humid southeastern United States, grown for a thick-skinned, musky-sweet fruit eaten fresh, pressed into juice, or made into wine and jelly. It climbs by tendrils onto any available support, tolerating heat and humidity that damage or kill many other grapes. Its native resistance to Pierce's disease and phylloxera lets it thrive where European grapes fail, and it grows in clay, loam or sand under a wide range of moisture.
