Hunt Muscadine Grape Vine – A Dark Purple, Juicy, & Flavorful Southern Favorite! πŸ‡πŸŒΏ

The Hunt Muscadine Grape Vine (Vitis rotundifolia β€˜Hunt’) is an heirloom muscadine variety cherished for its deep purple-black fruit and exceptional sweetness. First discovered in the early 1900s, this variety remains popular due to its high sugar content, rich aroma, and large, juicy grapes. Unlike self-fertile muscadines, the Hunt Muscadine is a female variety and requires a male muscadine or Scuppernong vine for proper pollination and fruit production. Thriving in warm, humid climates, this vine is disease-resistant, highly productive, and heat-tolerant, making it an excellent addition to any home vineyard or backyard garden.


🌿 USDA Growing Zones & Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 7-9, making it ideal for warm and humid regions.
  • Requires approximately 200-400 chill hours for optimal fruiting.

🌸 Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Produces large, deep purple-black muscadine grapes with a thick skin and incredibly sweet pulp.
  • Ripens mid to late season, typically from August through September.
