The fruit clusters of the muscadine group are small with the berries in many varieties tending to shell or fall from the cluster when ripe.

The pulp is quite tough, but this toughness is not localized around the seed as with the labrusca. The fruit has a characteristic musky odor and in many varieties tends to ripen unevenly in the cluster.
