Best table Muscadine

General Fruit Growing
1

I’m looking to add 6 grapes and have been told I should only grow Muscadine here near Bonifay, FL in zone 8b because seedless bunch would die. I have family members that don’t like the older types or wild muscadine taste, so I was wanting to buy some muscadines that have more of a bunch table grape taste for fresh eating. I also was wanting seedless for the younger kids?

I’m thinking:
Black Beauty
Pam
Fry seedless
Oh My! Seedless
RazzMatazz

Any others I could consider for a more mild traditional muscadine taste? Or any other seedless out there that might live in my state?

Check out Scarlett. Tastes like cotton candy. Doesn’t taste anything like regular muscadines. Not seedless, but worth it for the flavor.

Black beauty is big and mild. Funny I was disappointed in the taste for the reason you explain. I thought to myself it will probably be a favorite of my wife who likes store bought grapes which are boring to me. It needs a pollenizer

Fry family are supposedly NOT mild.

Edit - none of these are seedless

Black Beauty - female
Pam - female
Fry Seedless - self-fertile, however, not a strong pollinator
Oh My! - self-fertile
RazzMatazz - self-fertile

IMO, Supreme and Summit would be slightly better choices than Black Beauty and Pam for your climate and desired use.

I’d like to find a good early ripe
Muscadine hybrid for the Northwest.
