Pot Size: 2 gallons
Native Status: Native Cultivar
Description: 'Noble' was released in 1973 by W. Nesbitt, D. Carroll, and V. Underwood of the North Carolina Agricultural Exp. Station. 'Noble' was selected for its potential as a high yielding wine and juice grape. There are few weaknesses with this cultivar: it is productive, disease resistant, and produces a good quality juice. Another main benefit to 'Noble' as a juice grape is the fact that its purple pigments are more stable than most muscadines which tend to brown over time. Produce medium-sized, dark purple-black fruit with a sweet, musky flavor. They thrive in hot, humid southeastern US. 2-year plants should fruit.
Light Exposure: Full Sun Drought Tolerant: Yes
Soil Moisture: Medium Salt Tolerant: Moderate
|Mature Height: 15-20 ft Deer Resistant: Moderate
Mature Width: n/a
Bloom Color/Bloom Time: Blooms in late spring, typically from April through early June. It produces small, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers that are self-fertile, meaning they do not require a separate pollinator. Grapes ripen in summer.
Historical Uses: In the 1500s, early European settlers, including the English explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, documented the abundance of muscadines growing wild. Seeing their potential, settlers began cultivating muscadine grapes for winemaking and other purposes. Mother vine documented 1584.
Wildlife Values: Its fruits are eaten by songbirds, ruffed grouse, wild turkeys, small mammals, squirrels, white-tailed deer, raccoons, foxes, and black bears. Thickets provide nesting cover for songbirds. Bees and other pollinators enjoy the nectar from the flowers.
