Fry Bronze Muscadine is a fast-growing native deciduous climbing vine with a non-exfoliating bark that produces clusters of thick-skinned grapes over a long harvest period. The large dark green foliage are bluntly toothed and have a nice color display in fall. The large, super sweet fruit turn bronze when they are ready for harvest in mid to late fall if pollinated. Muscadines are dioecious and need either both a male and female plant or a perfect flower cultivar to produce fruit. Grows best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Fry Bronze is drought and disease tolerant.
