Cowart Muscadine Grape Vine – A Hardy, Sweet, & Versatile Southern Favorite! πŸ‡πŸŒΏ

The Cowart Muscadine Grape Vine (Vitis rotundifolia β€˜Cowart’) is a highly productive, disease-resistant, and cold-hardy muscadine variety developed for both home and commercial growers. Originating in the Southeastern United States, muscadine grapes have been cultivated for centuries due to their exceptional heat tolerance and rich, sweet flavor. The Cowart Muscadine is a self-fertile black variety that produces large, juicy, dark purple grapes with an intense sweetness and a hint of tartness. These grapes are ideal for fresh eating, homemade jams, juices, and winemaking. With its vigorous growth, high disease resistance, and adaptability to a wide range of soils, the Cowart Muscadine is a fantastic addition to any backyard vineyard or edible landscape.
