FREE: 10 Muscadine Seeds

The listing, 10 Muscadine Seeds has ended.

I have 10 Muscadine seeds taken from the fruit of a wild vine grown here in Mississippi. The pictures show the vine, fruit and seeds. The ones I found were growing singly on the vine. If properly cultivated and fertilized, the fruit can be found growing in bunches like grapes. They are delicious eaten straight from the vine (squeezed out of the thick skin) or made into jelly.

"Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) is a grapevine species native to the south of North America that has been extensively cultivated since the 16th century. Its natural range is recognized in the following states of the US: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.[1] The plants are well adapted to their native warm and humid climate; they need fewer chilling hours than better known varieties and they thrive on summer heat.

Muscadine berries range from bronze to dark purple to black in color when ripe.[2] However, many wild varieties stay green through maturity. They have skin sufficiently tough that eating the raw fruit often involves biting a small hole in the skin to suck out the pulp inside. Muscadines are not only eaten fresh, but also are used in making wine, juice, and jelly".......................................
"In a natural setting, muscadines are important plants for improving wildlife habitat by providing cover, browse, and fruit for a wide variety of animals.[4]"
