Product Description
*** Muscadine vines ship from late November through April ***
*** We ship to colder states beginning in late March and early April UNLESS you request it to ship earlier.
If you live above Virginia, tell us in the comments if you would like your muscadine order shipped ASAP or if you prefer for us to ship in April.
** Tip: To receive your muscadine vines the fastest – we recommend placing an order for muscadine vines on an order all by themselves. (When other plants and trees are in the order we will wait until everything is ready before we ship. This saves on shipping costs. Some trees will not be in dormancy until January, and this can cause a delay.)

Darlene is, by far, one of the best-tasting muscadines available. It may not produce the heavy yields of some other varieties, but when it comes to flavor, Darlene is muscadine gold.
It is the most requested variety at our fruit stand. Every harvest season, customers travel hundreds of miles hoping to take home a box of this delicious fruit. Once you taste it, you understand why.
The consistently large bronze fruit—measuring up to 1¼ inches in diameter—develops a beautiful rosy-pink color as it fully ripens. With 22% sugar, melting pulp, and an exceptionally sweet, juicy flavor, Darlene is considered by many to be the finest bronze muscadine available.
🍇 Large bronze fruit with a rosy-pink blush
🍇 Exceptionally sweet—22% sugar
🍇 Melting, juicy pulp and unbeatable flavor
🍇 Dry scar for cleaner picking
🍇 Disease-resistant vine

If flavor is what matters most, Darlene belongs in your vineyard. Order early, this customer favorite is always in high demand!
The Darlene muscadine is named for Bill and Leola Ison’s oldest daughter,

Adding BLUE-X Plant Shelters to your muscadine vines. BLUE-X Grapevine Shelters create a beneficial microclimate for each grapevine. The increased humidity and carbon dioxide levels in the grow-tubes accelerate plant growth and enhance vine survival. This will increase vine growth up to 150% the first year and will increase fruit yields your first harvest season. As an added benefit they protect young vines from rodents, rabbits and other herbivores.
We offer the only shelter on the market today that takes advantage of beneficial blue light!
It’s a small cost but offers a big reward for your vineyard.
