Tara Muscadine is a self-fertilizing native deciduous climbing vine with non-exfoliating bark. It produces the largest of the bronze grapes with a strong sweetness and thick yellow skins that uniformly ripen midseason. The shiny large broad leaves are dark green and bluntly toothed with shades of yellow to red in fall. Grows best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Tara is an excellent pollinator choice and has good disease resistance.
