Wildlife Muscadine Grape Vines are native to the U.S. and have many benefits over traditional European grapes. The much thicker skin of a muscadine protects the plant from environmental hazards. Because the muscadine vine is native, it has developed better resistance to North American fungus, mold and disease. Muscadine rootstock is strong and is used to strengthen crops of European wine grape vines. Wildlife animals are drawn to the sweet smell of fermenting grapes which have fallen to the ground. Muscadine grape fruit developes into many colors: green, gold, red, blue and black. All of these colors work equally well when planted as a wildlife muscadine grape fruit. Wildlife Muscadine Grape Vine Plants bear enough muscadine grape fruits for human consumption and plenty left over for deer, songbirds, opossum, coons etc. Muscadine grape fruit was often referred to as "fox grapes" by settlers, and Quail especially love muscadine grapes.
