Muscadine Grapes

		Muscadine Grapes
		The muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia) is native to the southeastern U.S., including east Texas, and improved cultivars are commonly grown in the region for fresh fruit and for production of juice, jelly, and wine. Scuppernong is an old cultivar of muscadine grape. Newer cultivars such as Carlos, Noble, Nesbitt, Fry, Doreen, and Summit have improved fruit quality characteristics over the traditional Scuppernong. Muscadine grapes in general are fairly disease resistant, but are cold tender and have similar hardiness as cultivars of Vitis vinifera.
