Delicious Muscadine Grape
Vitis rotundifolia Michx.
Delicious is a new muscadine grape cultivar released by the University of Florida, that is black-fruited, early and even ripening, high-yielding, and disease-resistant. It has excellent taste and texture with an edible thin skin, making it well-suited for fresh fruit consumption. It also has potential for wine production.
Bob Paulish, past President of the Florida Grape Grower's Association, suggested the name 'Delicious' based on the impressions of visitors to his vineyard who sampled the fruit. Zone 7 - 9.
