I just stumbled across this video in my main feed. Just looking at your property I can recognize one of my own. The plant of choice in my back yard is different, but I get it.
Your Muscadines look great and healthy. They have nice size canes and trunks which will produce a lot of great grapes in the years to come. They all except the Lane look like they are older than they are. Just think what they will do when the cordons are as big as your arm. Bernard
Yes. Muscadine vines have three genders, female, self fertile and male. The gene for the male trait is very, very dominant and 90 of wild seedlings are male. All cultivated varieties are either female or self fertile and are propagated asexually to maintain fruiting characteristics and to avoid male seedlings.
Once established, muscadines shouldn't need watering in the SE except when it's extremely dry. If you are in an arid climate where they air is dry, you would probably have to water them every day. They need humidity.
This species of grape is native to his part of the world. It is also capable of, indeed eager to, become a massive vine with similarly extensive root systems. I believe Bartram called them "the flying butresses" of the forests.
muscadines are immune to most grape type problems mine are 6 yrs old never needed to spray i have bronze and black scuppnongs very good large --mature in 1st 2nt week in sept
if you have black rot and do not it will take over but the cure is simple cet some captan dilute per directions per gal sprayer the time to spray is late fall about every two wks about 3 -- 4 times this fungus winters over on the vine all winter but this spay will kill it has no effect on new crop of grapes
There is a local agricultural supply place that sells "grapevine wire", so I don't know any specifics about it other than its made of some form of stainless steel. God bless. Marcus
you can buy 50 ft rolls of closeline wire it steel wire inclose in plastic will hold 135 lbs good stuff and cheep lowes or home depot ace hdwy all have it, it want rust
If they don't sweeten up, often the cause is that they are over cropping or they get too much shad. Some varieties such as Supreme and Granny Vall are notorious for this. The solution is during pruning maintain fruiting clusters twelve inches apart and limit second year wood to only two buds.
@@jerryjohnson4013 It may be a bit late in the season for knocking some off to help much. Supreme vines have been known to drop the entire crop after badly over cropping and then not having enough energy to break dormancy the following spring. If you ever notice a muscadine suddenly starting to loose its leaves, before the grapes ripen, then yes, remove the grapes. That's a sign of a disaster about to happen. That's your cue that the vine can't ripen the crop. And without leaves it won't be able to make enough energy to break dormancy the next spring once it does drop the crop.

I have these vines all around my yard but I've never seen them produce grapes; any idea why?

You haven't tried the sweet jenny?
Do you trim the vines according to isons videos.
Yes, my care for them is pretty close to what Ison's Nursery recommend.
Do you water each plant each day?

Can u help me to how to find such great muscadine varieties or where can i buy them?
Ison Nursery and Vineyard is a great online source for nearly any muscadine variety you can think of.
Do you have to spray fungicide in your area?

I heard you mention black rot. I have some of that mostly in concord grapes. What to do?

Hi these grape looks awesome! What type of wire do you have them running on?

What is your favorite type of muscadine to eat fresh? I ordered Nesbitt, but now I am not sure about it...
I like the flavor of Black Beauty the best of the ones I've tried.
Some years some of my dines are not sweet. Other vines produce sweet dines. What do I do for those that are not always sweet?

Thanks, they are young and not to much shade but they load up heavy. Should I cut or knock some off? What about lime or whatever?
