Scuppernongs are wild grapes which have been cultivated. They are the same size as regular grapes except there are some which are pretty big. The vary from dark blue/red to white. They can be extremely sweet. The skin is tougher than regular grapes.

My vines produced a huge surplus last year but this year only enough for me to sample them. Probably due to the drought. Last year I gave them away and people literally carried buckets full away.

They sound wonderful!
Do you make grape jelly out of them?
Would they grow this far north, or is it too cold in Maine?
P.S.
Thanks for writing back!
