The Darlene Muscadine is a premium bronze, female variety known for its exceptional sweetness and outstanding flavor. Often considered one of the best bronze muscadines available, it produces consistently large fruit with a beautiful bronze color that develops a pink blush when fully ripe. The berries have a melting, juicy pulp and a dry scar, meaning the skin stays intact when picked. Disease resistant and reliable, Darlene ripens early to mid-season and is highly prized for fresh eating.
