Comments

We currently recommend 'Summit' as a main season bronze muscadine for the fresh fruit market. Although 'Summit' is slightly smaller than 'Fry', it has better productivity, more berry rot resistance, and a drier stem scar. Color is slightly pinker than 'Fry', but otherwise its appearance is similar.
