Vitis rotundifolia, Muscadinia rotundifolia
Whichever of the two botanical names you
wish to use, the grape is still a Muscadine,
or Scuppernong to most people.
"Scuppernong has become another name
for all muscadine grapes." Muscadines are
native to the southeastern United States,
growing wild from Delaware to the Gulf of
Mexico and west to a line roughly eastern
Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas.
Muscadines are adapted to the warm,
humid conditions of the southeast, where
American and European varieties of grape
do not prosper.
Botanically, Muscadines are vigorous
growers that are dioecious, with male and
female flowers on different plants. Breeding
and selection of different cultivars by
numerous Southern university, and State
Agricultural programs have produced
self-fertile varieties with near perfect
flowers. These also serve as Pollen
sources for female plants. The fruit is borne
in loose clusters of 4-40 grapes. Colors
can range from greenish bronze to almost
black, with varying shades of red, pink, and
purple in between. The new cultivars have
been bred to have a Sugar content, per
grape, that varies between 15% to 25%.
These taste far different than the "wild"
muscadines found growing along creek
bottoms. T hey are more or less immune to
the great grape killing scourge "Pierce's
disease, which will destroy most other
species of grapevine.
The vines must be pruned annually and
severely,every dormant season, as the only
current seasons growth will produce fruit.
Most cultivars have each individual grape
ripen at different times so picking becomes
a daily event during harvest that runs
generally from September through October.
The grape is at its best in the distinctive
Jam's and Jellies it produces. They are
popular because they are a sustainable fruit
crop for the southeastern U.S.
