Higgins Scuppernong Grape Vine – A High-Yielding Bronze Muscadine with Incredible Sweetness! πŸ‡πŸŒΏ

The Higgins Scuppernong Grape Vine (Vitis rotundifolia β€˜Higgins’) is a premium bronze muscadine variety known for its extra-large, sweet, and juicy grapes. This variety was developed in the southeastern United States and quickly became a favorite due to its high productivity, rich flavor, and vigorous growth. The Higgins Scuppernong is a female muscadine vine, meaning it requires a male muscadine or scuppernong vine for pollination to produce fruit. With its thick skin, golden-bronze color, and honey-like sweetness, Higgins Scuppernong grapes are perfect for fresh eating, juices, jellies, and homemade muscadine wines. This variety is disease-resistant, heat-tolerant, and long-living, making it a fantastic choice for home gardeners and vineyard growers alike.
