It was bred by the University of Florida to produce large dark purple, almost black muscadine grapes suitable for fresh eating. It was also found to be excellent as a wine grape as well. The "Delicious" grape stands out for its high yields and ability to resist disease. Muscadine grapes are resistant against Pierce's Disease, ensuring a healthy and fruitful harvest. Expect to harvest in early August. Needs to grow for 2 years before it will start to produce. Ideal Growing Conditions Muscadine grapes thrives in warm, humid climates and is ideal for USDA hardiness zones 7-11. It prefers full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce a strong crop of fruit. This variety grows best in well-draining soil, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (around 5.5 to 7.0). If your soil is heavy clay or poorly draining, amending with organic matter can improve its structure. Muscadine grapes require regular watering, especially during the establishment phase and in dry periods, but they do not tolerate waterlogged soil. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. A deep watering schedule, about once a week, is usually sufficient, although more frequent watering may be necessary during hot weather. For optimal growth, apply a balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring, just as the vine begins to grow. Additional light feedings every 6-8 weeks throughout the growing season can help boost fruit production.
