Wild Muscadine grapes

(vitis rotundifolia)

Habitat:

Wild grape is also known as muscadine, scuppernong, and southern fox grape, and is valued for its edible, tasty fruit. Wild grape grows from Texas to south Florida, north to Delaware, and west to Missouri.

Notes:

The grapes are a favorite food source for white-tailed deer and other wildlife also eat the fruit, including black bear, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, raccoon, skunk, squirrel, and opossum. Songbirds such as cardinals, mockingbirds, robins, cedar waxwings, consume the fruit and are essential to the dispersal of wild grape seeds.Native Americans in Florida also made a blue dye from the grapes.
