The fruit is harvested as single&nbsp;<em>berries<\/em>&nbsp;instead of bunches. The round \u00bd inch fruits have a thick, tough skin and contains up to 5 seeds. The color ranges from light bronze to pink to purple to black. The flesh of the round or oval berry is clear and translucent. The leaves and fruit are smaller than those of bunch grapes. Muscadine leaves are dark green on top and yellowish green underneath,&nbsp;<em>alternate<\/em>, with deeply&nbsp;<em>serrated<\/em>&nbsp;edges. The flower is small and green in color. Muscadines can be grown throughout Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu\/images\/plantid\/fruits\/muscadine_plant.jpg\" alt=\"Muscadine grape plant\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestryimages.org\/browse\/image\/5192019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Allen Bridgman, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources,\u00a0Bugwood.org<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu\/images\/plantid\/fruits\/muscadine_foliage.jpg\" alt=\"Muscadine grape foliage\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestryimages.org\/browse\/image\/1380240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chris Evans, River to River CWMA,\u00a0Bugwood.org<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu\/images\/plantid\/fruits\/muscadine_tendrils.jpg\" alt=\"Muscadine vine tendrils\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestryimages.org\/browse\/image\/1120450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James H.
