Description
Recently released by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences breeding program, the ‘Ruby Crisp’ Muscadine produces abundant red berries that taste more like a table grape than a muscadine grape, which folks who aren’t particularly fond of muscadine flavor will appreciate. It is a self-fertile vine, meaning that it doesn’t require a pollinator plant to produce fruit. In the past, only female muscadine cultivars could produce large fruit, and they needed the help of a pollinator plant to do so. Extemely productive, the vigorous vines produce abundant, large, firm, distinctive red fruits that ripen mid season and have tender skins and crisp flessh. Total yields of ‘RubyCrisp’ were excellent in trials and consistently ranked among the highest yielding cultivars. The fruits have excellent sweet table grape-like sweet flavor and a dry stem scar so are very easy to pick without damaging them. An exceptionally reliable and easy to grow Muscadine that will please with a bounty of deliciously sweet grapes. Hardy in USDA Zones 7-10b.

Growing Preferences
Muscadine vines can grow in a wide range of soils. Highly fertile soils are not essential. Well-drained soils produce the best growth and yields. Avoid soils that are persistently wet during the growing season. The best and most muscadine berries will be produced when vines are growing in full to mostly sun. That said, muscadine vines that receive a little shade will still produce good crops.
