Scuppernong is the classic bronze muscadine that many Southerners remember growing on backyard vines and family farms. This historic variety produces medium-sized bronze fruit with the rich, sweet, old-fashioned muscadine flavor people love. Well suited to the heat and humidity of North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, and the Gulf Coast, Scuppernong can be enjoyed fresh from the vine or used for homemade jelly, juice, preserves, and wine.
