So glad I found your channel! I’m in Stone Mtn GA and just figured out last week we have a muscadine vine right in our backyard!!! We’ve been in our house only 2 yrs and just figuring things out. I was sooooooo excited but have no idea what I’m doing. Your video has helped a lot. The vine has really been neglected and is intertwined in a couple of other trees. But there’s fruit! YAY!!! 🍇 🍇🍇
This February prune it and get better control of it and you will have some bigger sweeter fruit. Studies show best fruit grows 20 feet from the root system
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about growing concord grapes in containers try Grape Grower Folio (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
Watching this video again, I realized this is the video I watched two years ago when I was researching to plant our vines. They are growing beautiful. Still enjoying this content. Thanks
Nice video, thanks. I was noticing the leaves are edible. Often so many common plants around the home are edible and not used, for example the sweet potato leaf is also edible. Note the "sweet potato", is edible, not a regular potato leaf. "Muscadine leaves are an often overlooked source of nutrition. They are packed with vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants and polyphenols that can provide numerous health benefits"
Oh good I've been learning from a master grower of muscadines, Isons nursery. We buy all our stuff from them. They also have a UA-cam channel go check it out. Really good stuff on pruning and fertilization
My father -in-law has 140 Muscadine vines , they are over 40 years old. Some are very large and he puts up clothes line type tullis. He make award winning wines and sells Muscadine and sucudines, (i am sure I mispelled) currently he sells them $12 you pick and $15 if they pick a gallon. My wife and I picked 50 gallons in 2 days. We help when we are in town, we are full-time RV'ers.
Hi Shane your Muscadines look great! You answered my question as to why I never saw any in Pennsylvania....we get down to zero n sometimes below. That's why we don't have them. Great video.
It took me awhile to look for this video again. Now I am getting ready to plant my muscadine. You inspired me growing muscadine after I got addicted eating them. Just a suggestion, it would be easier if you name your video subject like a playlist of phases, steps. Like step 1: set up your vines. Then you describe like in this video about the posts, the T post, the distances… Then in another video you can name it, step 2: how to plant, or prune, or fertilizer… thanks a lot for the videos.
Excellent job, I planted just about every muscadine there is. In saying that, you need to try the southern home muscadine. They are probably the best tasting ones I've grown beside the Fry. (Dixie County Florida)
As a homeowner, I planted my first muscadine vine glass spring, following instructions by Ison's Nursery. I was rewarded with a really good start. I'm very glad I found your video as it fills in a lot of gaps. Thanks.
I have really enjoyed your UA-cam channel can you explain everything really well I would like to have a vineyard just like you guys thanks for telling us where you get your plants I didn’t know if you propagate from the ones you already have but thanks I appreciate it appreciate your channel
Wow, love the video. I feel like I am already knowledgeable enough to start a vineyard. Japanese beetles are the worst!! I deal with those varmints every year. I use the traps and have my kids pick them off our garden and put them in soapy water. Thanks again for the tips! When is the best time of year to plant?
My vineyard was like yours except I used end posts and 1 gallon emitters. A highway got mine. I really enjoyed them. I really liked Supreme and Late Fry. I used Ison as a pollinator. Great video, thanks!
Loved the video, great information. I am in SC and put up my first 40' line and planted two scuppernong plants in August. I know that was not the ideal time to plant but I was ready to get something going. I have been watering pretty heavy with drip since then. If I understand correctly I should cut out the water now (October) and protect the vines from frost for the winter. Looking for any advice. I plan to add a few more plants and maybe a few more rows if things go well.
Awesome yes stop water. Should be fine for frost. Don't prune early. Wait until the end of Feb. They've done studies on pruning, could harm your plants. Its coming into planting season so I will be putting out alot more videos on muscadines soon
The heat has been brutal lately but, I hope you got some of the cooling rain yesterday. It feels like fall this morning. Praise God! I remember wasps love making nests under the leaves of grape vines. Keep some spray close by. I don't know why Noah brought those devilish things on the trip. Fire ants too! lol XOXOX
Love your vineyard. The ones that my grandma had in her backyard were black. I always loved going out there and eating right off the vine. A few years ago, my wife and I lived in Arkansas and there were Concord Grape vines that produced a lot of grapes. It would take me longer to mow the yard because I always HAD to stop and eat grapes....LOL. Home grown is always better than store bought, no matter what it is. Have a great day!!!
I am glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing the vid. 1. I am curious how much space do you keep between the rows? 2. How do you deal with squirrels and chipmunks 🐿? 3. I could've missed it but I don't see a fence, how do you deal with deers? Thanks again, gonna check your other vids.
Excellent video, Boss! Question: you mention the Scuppernongs. I've planted a Carlos at Momsie's in S/W Florida. What do you think of those for straight-up eating? What about all the newer species such as Lane, Ison, Paulk, and Southern Jewel?? I'm new to this but have spent hours researching the best self-fertile, disease and nematode resistant, and best tasting grape for snacking. I've never had a muscadine, but like you, I like all fruit. A friend where I live now just turned me on to prickly-pear cactus. There are hundreds of varieties, and we're lucky enough to have a half dozen different ones close by. Those bad larrys are awesome, and one species in particular has eclipsed watermelon as my favorite fruit! We've picked well over 300lbs of them in the wild this season and have one more "wild harvest" on the ticket. What's your take on the various muscadine varieties I mention, or is there one in particular you recommend? Also, let me know if you'd like to talk about affiliating with us. Gave you a like and a share on FB.
For self fertle I love Ison. One of my favorite. For eating the Supreme seems to be everyone's favorite at our farm. Super big grapes and delicious. We have Carlos as well they taste great just small grapes. They make awesome wine and produce like crazy being a self fertle. All you self fertle will produce way moe than your female verity.
Hello great video, I've ordered my wire and wire vices, thank you so much for the information! How far apart do you plant your rows? Cheers from South Carolina
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia I live in Easley SC and we have red clay also. I have purchased some blackberries from Isons Nursery. They are doing well. Have a blessed weekend my friend in Jesus.
Constantly at war with squirrels for my figs and blackberries. I planted a Southern Home variety last spring. I plan on pinching off any flowers this year to get my vine established. I make country wine with my fruits. Any advice on how to deter squirrels ? Great information by the way. I'm going to install some irrigation per your suggestion.
I’ve been watching your channel for 3 yrs love the content Question in East TX we get 2 episodes of 3 day deep freezes to 10 degrees other than that our winters are mild Will the young vines survive that ? Would it be ok to wrap them those few days with 6mil garden plastic for instance? Also I see you used the blue protective sleeves and Isons also has the other sleeves called the jumpstart which do you think is best please I’m about to order 30 vines tonight
Never heard of the Jumpstart, must be new. We get some spurts of cold like that to. You can wrap them or pile up dirt to protect the main trunk. East Texas should be good to grow I would think
Can you do a short video on how you're emitters and lines are tied together. I have a well and would like to run some water to 180' of muscadine vines. Also, what do you use to spray for Japanese Beetle control.
Hi I live in Kansas City do you think that Muscadine will grow up here I just want them to eat and would grow them in my back yard and your info is great thank you
Ben honestly thats probably to far north for muscadines. They are a southern grape and love the heat and really can't take Temps below 0. I have heard of folks growing them In greenhouses though
All the extra bracing really depends on a lot of factors, especially your soil - but if you bury it far enough in solid ground it shouldn't be a huge problem - especially with concrete. You can always brace it later if it starts to sag and just retighten the wire.
you can use a 4x4x8 set 2ft deep iuse 4 lb bags concrete works great i1/8 i ch cable LOWES 50 ft rolls 6 yrs no sag i use 6 in auger and elect drill harbor freight drill 1/4 holes 2 inch from top 6 ft also at 48 in twowire 4--6 ft set 24ft apart set plant in mid 12 ft 2-3 yrs to cover the wire
Thank you for your video. I noticed you said you put fertilizer down. Do you lift up the black tarp or do you just put it on the side of the black tarp?
Great video Shane! Just wondering how you attached the come-along to the wire for stretching? Is there some type of "gripper" device that I'm not aware of? Thanks and keep 'em coming!
Yes they do make wire grippers that tighten on your wire. The harder you pull the better they grip on your wire. One you secure your wire with the amount of tension you want on your wire, you release pressure or tension from your come a long or whatever you use to pull your wire and your gripper will release. Of c
Great Video! How long are your rows from wood pole to wood pole? Also, do you put the muscadine plants directly in the middle of two poles/t-posts - 10 foot from each pole? Thanks, Nick
Do you ever use droppings to fertilize? I planted a small peach orchard (10) that was being eaten by grasshoppers so I brought in Guinea Fowl to manage it. Do you have any problems with insects or animals eating the Muscadines and how do you handle it? Thanks in advance.
Hello, my father passed away in 2020. He had a lovely muscadine tree/vine in the yard and I’ve been wanting to grow my own based on his but not sure how to propagate them to transport them to my house about two hours away. Is now the time of year to get clippings? I’ve heard mixed information.
You can now for sure just keep it wet so it will put out roots or you can air layer by putting a vine in a pot of soil and let it grow out all summer. Then in the winter while it's dormant cut it away from main vine and take home to plant
Scumpernongs are just a different variety of muscadine usually greenish or bronze color. As for pests I use liquid seven, works great on all bugs. Generally muscadines are grown in the south. They love the heat. If winters hang around 0 degrees for long periods of time in the winter they want make it
I know this is an older video, but I own an irrigation business and we are being asked to do an install to a muscadine vineyard. We generally avoid drip at all costs, but it looks like we'll need it for a vineyard. My question is, how long are the runs/how many rows can a zone handle to not lose pressure?
i am very interested in setting up a muscadine small vineyard. You made a great video and agreed with your choice of supplier. good JOB! Now for the question. You referred in your video to some people that had Arbores, but it put the fruit higher Can you refer a design for me as I want the fruit hight to be about 7 feet fThank you New SUB
In the winter when they die off what all do you cut off? Or just leave all the dead dry vines? I have a few vines in my backyard and trying to figure them out
You definitely want to prune but just do it in February because you want your plants to be hardened off all winter and spring will be right around the corner. Prunning will definitely help producing and I have a Playlist for all your muscadine needs lol. Any more questions feel free to ask
Is there a maximum length an individual vine should be limited to? UGA document only says a MINIMUM of 20 feet. Not sure if letting it grow too long would be adverse.
Hi , thank you for your vids about Muscadines :) it's very instructive. We don't find Muscadines in Europe ( I'm from France ) . Would you sell & ship eventually some Muscadines cuttings ti France ? Thank you by advance for your reply.
I would think so. But the wild one usually don't produce as well. I would check out Isons nursery online and this fall pick up some self fertle plants and they will produce like crazy. My favorite is the Ison verity it grows and produces like crazy every year from 2nd yr on
Just curious, what month do your muscadine vines start budding. I planted some this fall and was hoping they made it through that real cold weather this winter. Mine haven't budged yet but keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks
Just be patient they all like the last thing to wake up. You should see some buds on the vines or you can make a little scratch on the vine to see if it's green. They should be fine
What specific varieties are you growing? I just recieved 3 muscadine plants from Ison's and planted them in my large heated greenhouse in Seattle. The varieties are Ison, Cowart, and Dixie Red.
Awesome. Good luck. I hope they do great. I have Ison, Black Beauty, Supreme, Darlene, and Carlos. Your gonna love Ison, Heavy producer and makes AWESOME jelly
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Thanks! Is Darlene the variety you said is your wife's favorite? I just read a lot about it and one reviewer said, "The flavor is unbeatable. It is considered by most to be the best bronze muscadine variety available." Ison is out of Darlene, so I ordered one from Bob Wells Nursery (and a Supreme while I was at it). I noticed late last night that Ison is now selling the new variety everyone is talking about called "Ruby Crisp." I also ordered one of those last night. It will be interesting to see if Seattle has enough heat and sunlight to produce muscadines. I can grow watermelons in my greenhouse, so I'm thinking that muscadines should be able to do well.
Hello I was looking to get only 1 plant,but my lad is clay and in a hill a bit,I have a lower spotted but when it rain it get 2 pulled for the day, I was wondering if I ca put the there, thanks
hi, great video. I was giving a smaller vine with roots and i just planted it in a pot at the end of last summer. its really coming along but I'm not sure when to put it in the ground.I'm going to start a line like yours and maybe i can get it going. so when do you think i should plant it? thanks.
They are looking great, besides the beetles do you have problems with birds, squirrels, and other animals like deer eating the grapes both before the ripen and as they are ripening? If so how do you keep them away? Much love from So.Cal.💟
OK yeah you could squeeze that in thru out the growing season as things come up, like the nibblers getting them, maybe a go pro on a pole to catch them in the act?
I wonder if I could plant 2 or 3 of my 40 ft mounded rows/semi raised beds with muscadines and plant my strawberries under them since strawberries need filtered sun (in my area of the Florida panhandle the sun is too strong for direct sun). I’m sure someone has done that I just haven’t seen any videos or blog posts about it.
Been thinking about your question. I wouldn't do it but I'm as curious as you to see if ya could. I wouldn't because the 3rd yr. those muscadines will be so bushy and the vines will hit the ground and shade out everything but saying that you can keep them pruned up. Also I don't like any competition for my grapes as far as water and nutrients go. But I can see it working. Lol. Probably makes no sense but have fun thats what it's all about any way. Keep me posted
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia I’m sure there is a reason people don’t do it. My strawberries have been beaten down by the sun for the 3 years I’ve had them. I’ve been looking for options to shade them a bit to filter the sun. Strawberries have really shallow roots so they probably wouldn’t disturb most other plants but I just wondered about the practicality of planting under muscadines. Either way the muscadine are going in this fall. I guess the nutrient sharing would be an issue. Maybe I’ll plant strawberries under 20 ft of them- and be sure to fertilize every well and compare and contrast. I guess the good news is- nothing has to be permanent 😅. Strawberries transplant extremely easily and they reproduce like crazy so if I lose a few I suppose it won’t be a big deal. I call my garden the great experiment, it’s more fun that way. I appreciate your reply , you have given me some things to think about 💜
Awesome video with great information!! Just one question, what are the soil requirements? I’m in a neighborhood on Orlando. Thank you for your time and help! 🍇
My first exposure to Muscadines was coincidentally in Orlando. I saw them growing wild along a fence that was bordering a very small citrus orchard. They were impossible to eat at the time in early August (big but hard as a rock and sour). I'm in Jax and doing well with my 2-year old vines. We get more frost days than Orlando and that has me a little worried.
It's better to over explain simply because common sense is not all that common. The older I get the more I see how many people are proof of that. Another informative video! Thx for sharing Shane.
Thanks Dawn. I really appreciate it

I used to live in stone mountain and had two types of Muscadine growing in the backyard
Ig it's a wild miscadine, it may be a male plant. I think only 1 in 5 are female and bear fruit.
Watching this video again, I realized this is the video I watched two years ago when I was researching to plant our vines. They are growing beautiful. Still enjoying this content. Thanks
Awesome so glad to hear that. Should be some grapes and next year is gonna be awesome for ya
Every winery up here in north Georgia has their own muscadine wine, and every country store its muscadine jam. They are tasty grapes!
Lol yes we love em
Loved your little correction in the middle 😆 can't wait for muscadines!! 🤤
Lol i can't wait

@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia thank you
Nice vines.I wanted to ask a question when my vine gets to my 10’ mark do I cut the tip off or let it keep growing.
I usually pinch the tip to stop growth then just let everything else take off to help build up some bulk in the plant
Great information. How many plants should you plant per acre?
Not sure really. I plant in 8 ft. rows and the plants are 20 ft from each other
Great video Shane! Just wondering how you attached the come-along to the wire for stretching? Is there some type of "gripper" device that I'm not aware of? Thanks and keep 'em coming!
Lol my tractor
Hey thanks also. Really appreciate it
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Yep, I get the tractor as an anchor point but how you attached the other end to the wire? What am I missing? :-)
Run wire through a wire vise and wrap it around the post and twist it around main wire ua-cam.com/video/jeA4wQrFi_I/v-deo.html
Yes they do make wire grippers that tighten on your wire. The harder you pull the better they grip on your wire. One you secure your wire with the amount of tension you want on your wire, you release pressure or tension from your come a long or whatever you use to pull your wire and your gripper will release. Of c
Great Video! How long are your rows from wood pole to wood pole? Also, do you put the muscadine plants directly in the middle of two poles/t-posts - 10 foot from each pole? Thanks, Nick
They are 120 ft. Yes directly in the middle so they can run 10 ft each direction
Do they grow in places that freeze like Saint Louis?
If the temp gets below 0 in the winter it's gonna be tough. They really love the hot humid South
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia
Looks like they won;t 😔
Do you ever use droppings to fertilize? I planted a small peach orchard (10) that was being eaten by grasshoppers so I brought in Guinea Fowl to manage it. Do you have any problems with insects or animals eating the Muscadines and how do you handle it? Thanks in advance.
No, we are not an organic farm
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia I'm not either. It's just I have a lot of droppings and I also have bee hives so spaying pesticides is very difficult.
Hi
I have 2d year plants doing well. I should let them grow 10ft in each direction?
Also, a really closeup video of pruning would be great.
Thanks
Correct and I have a whole Playlist of muscadine videos from prunning to fertilizer you name it
Very informative. I live in Maryland. I'm thinking about trying to grow some in my backyard. Any thoughts?
Its tough if your winters get below zero. If not start with a few and make sure at least one is a self fertle so you have good pollination
Hello, my father passed away in 2020. He had a lovely muscadine tree/vine in the yard and I’ve been wanting to grow my own based on his but not sure how to propagate them to transport them to my house about two hours away. Is now the time of year to get clippings? I’ve heard mixed information.
You can now for sure just keep it wet so it will put out roots or you can air layer by putting a vine in a pot of soil and let it grow out all summer. Then in the winter while it's dormant cut it away from main vine and take home to plant
I wanted to know if you can show us how to root these beautiful muscadines. I can never find any at all. Mr. Eison is even sold out. Thank you sir.
They will have more around September for our fall planting
Hello from Oregon. Are these ok to grow here, zone 8b? do you have a link for pest control? how is Scapernog different from Muscadine?
Scumpernongs are just a different variety of muscadine usually greenish or bronze color. As for pests I use liquid seven, works great on all bugs. Generally muscadines are grown in the south. They love the heat. If winters hang around 0 degrees for long periods of time in the winter they want make it
Thank you for making this video can you show people how can they grow muscadines in a plant pot an apartment area thank you bud
Well never done that lol but remember it's a vine plant and it would need a really big pot. I guess it could be done. Great idea
I know this is an older video, but I own an irrigation business and we are being asked to do an install to a muscadine vineyard. We generally avoid drip at all costs, but it looks like we'll need it for a vineyard. My question is, how long are the runs/how many rows can a zone handle to not lose pressure?
Mine 230ft long and only do 5 rows at a time with 1/2 gallon emitters and they work great
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia I greatly appreciate the response!
Yes sir ,been looking for years that variety.can you help me sir thanks much
Check out Ison's Nursery online
What do you spray the weeds with?
Killzall. You can find it on Amazon
Great video. I have a small vineyard in Alabama. All my plants are also from ISON. What's your favorite plant name?
I love the ison variety and the Supreme
i am very interested in setting up a muscadine small vineyard. You made a great video and agreed with your choice of supplier. good JOB! Now for the question. You referred in your video to some people that had Arbores, but it put the fruit higher Can you refer a design for me as I want the fruit hight to be about 7 feet fThank you New SUB
I would google grape Arbor and just look at all images to see a wide variety of them.
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Thank you for your rapid response
great video. I'm moving to Flovilla Ga in 2 weeks on almost 2 acres. I want to grow them but I'm going to need help
You got it. Super easy. I will be putting in about 40 more this fall so we can do it together
In the winter when they die off what all do you cut off? Or just leave all the dead dry vines? I have a few vines in my backyard and trying to figure them out
I prune in February. That's the best time. Here's an old video but might help ua-cam.com/video/djmzwj4dGuw/v-deo.html
You definitely want to prune but just do it in February because you want your plants to be hardened off all winter and spring will be right around the corner. Prunning will definitely help producing and I have a Playlist for all your muscadine needs lol. Any more questions feel free to ask
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia thank you! You rock!
Is there a maximum length an individual vine should be limited to? UGA document only says a MINIMUM of 20 feet. Not sure if letting it grow too long would be adverse.
10 ft each direction of the trunk. Best grapes grow closer to the trunk
How long are each of your cable runs? I bought Ison’s starter kit with 6 plants and 170’ of 9ga wire.
280ft
Hi , thank you for your vids about Muscadines :) it's very instructive. We don't find Muscadines in Europe ( I'm from France ) . Would you sell & ship eventually some Muscadines cuttings ti France ? Thank you by advance for your reply.
Probably can't do that lol
Can you propagate them from the wild plants. ?
I would think so. But the wild one usually don't produce as well. I would check out Isons nursery online and this fall pick up some self fertle plants and they will produce like crazy. My favorite is the Ison verity it grows and produces like crazy every year from 2nd yr on
What do you do for bird and animal control?
Don't really have that much of a problem
Hey Buddy, can you do a short or video about saving muscadine seeds?
Honestly I wouldn't Dave seeds. Better to cut a short vine and propagate it. Or just buy some plants they're really cheap
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia got it! Thank you.
I see people are growing on 2 parallel wires and event 4. What do you think is the best?
Of course the way I do it lol. But to each is own
Just curious, what month do your muscadine vines start budding. I planted some this fall and was hoping they made it through that real cold weather this winter. Mine haven't budged yet but keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks
Just be patient they all like the last thing to wake up. You should see some buds on the vines or you can make a little scratch on the vine to see if it's green. They should be fine
do you have a pruning video for muskidines
Yes. I have a Playlist for just about anything you need to know about Muscadines.
What specific varieties are you growing? I just recieved 3 muscadine plants from Ison's and planted them in my large heated greenhouse in Seattle.
The varieties are Ison, Cowart, and Dixie Red.
Awesome. Good luck. I hope they do great. I have Ison, Black Beauty, Supreme, Darlene, and Carlos. Your gonna love Ison, Heavy producer and makes AWESOME jelly
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia
Thanks!
Is Darlene the variety you said is your wife's favorite? I just read a lot about it and one reviewer said, "The flavor is unbeatable. It is considered by most to be the best bronze muscadine variety
available."
Ison is out of Darlene, so I ordered one from Bob Wells Nursery (and a Supreme while I was at it).
I noticed late last night that Ison is now selling the new variety everyone is talking about called "Ruby Crisp." I also ordered one of those last night.
It will be interesting to see if Seattle has enough heat and sunlight to produce muscadines. I can grow watermelons in my greenhouse, so I'm thinking that muscadines should be able to do well.
Yes. My wife's favorite. I'm really curious if you can grow them to. Keep me posted. I hope ya can. YOUR GONNA LOVE EM
How far do you plant your muscadine plants apart? I’m in Alabama. We’ve never grown muscadines. I’m excited to get started.
Awesome 20 ft. I have a Playlist on Muscadines I think would really help you guys
Hello I was looking to get only 1 plant,but my lad is clay and in a hill a bit,I have a lower spotted but when it rain it get 2 pulled for the day, I was wondering if I ca put the there, thanks
Clay is OK. They grow really well in the south. MaKe sure if
You only get one plant it's a self fertle
Thanks, I am starting a farm and order from Ison
Awesome they are great people and you will love em. Where you farming?
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Northern Mississippi, Red Banks
hi, great video. I was giving a smaller vine with roots and i just planted it in a pot at the end of last summer. its really coming along but I'm not sure when to put it in the ground.I'm going to start a line like yours and maybe i can get it going. so when do you think i should plant it? thanks.
In the winter when its dormant definitely. Thats the only time I plant fruit
Kinfolk Farm of Georgia thank you.
I will be doing some planting videos this winter and I will show how to train them down the wire
looking forward to it, thanks.@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia
Where do you get your vise's at and your wire. What type wire please?
Vises from Amazon and 9 gauge wire. Depending on the length you can buy it from any big box store. I get mine from Isons nursery
They are looking great, besides the beetles do you have problems with birds, squirrels, and other animals like deer eating the grapes both before the ripen and as they are ripening? If so how do you keep them away? Much love from So.Cal.💟
Yes and no. To much to tell in text. Maybe another video lol
OK yeah you could squeeze that in thru out the growing season as things come up, like the nibblers getting them, maybe a go pro on a pole to catch them in the act?
I found the best defense was an electric fence.
What brand of weed control do you use without harming grapes? Also, I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
Killzall
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Thanks Bud, I may be trying to plant some on my property soon.
Spray with what for weeds?
A product called Killzall you can find it on Amazon
I wonder if I could plant 2 or 3 of my 40 ft mounded rows/semi raised beds with muscadines and plant my strawberries under them since strawberries need filtered sun (in my area of the Florida panhandle the sun is too strong for direct sun). I’m sure someone has done that I just haven’t seen any videos or blog posts about it.
Been thinking about your question. I wouldn't do it but I'm as curious as you to see if ya could. I wouldn't because the 3rd yr. those muscadines will be so bushy and the vines will hit the ground and shade out everything but saying that you can keep them pruned up. Also I don't like any competition for my grapes as far as water and nutrients go. But I can see it working. Lol. Probably makes no sense but have fun thats what it's all about any way. Keep me posted
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia I’m sure there is a reason people don’t do it. My strawberries have been beaten down by the sun for the 3 years I’ve had them. I’ve been looking for options to shade them a bit to filter the sun. Strawberries have really shallow roots so they probably wouldn’t disturb most other plants but I just wondered about the practicality of planting under muscadines. Either way the muscadine are going in this fall. I guess the nutrient sharing would be an issue. Maybe I’ll plant strawberries under 20 ft of them- and be sure to fertilize every well and compare and contrast. I guess the good news is- nothing has to be permanent 😅. Strawberries transplant extremely easily and they reproduce like crazy so if I lose a few I suppose it won’t be a big deal. I call my garden the great experiment, it’s more fun that way. I appreciate your reply , you have given me some things to think about 💜
Awesome video with great information!! Just one question, what are the soil requirements? I’m in a neighborhood on Orlando. Thank you for your time and help! 🍇
They will grow in just about any soil. They love about 6.5 ph. Should grow really well in Orlando
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Yay! Thank you for your quick reply! 😊
No problem, good luck. Check with Ison's Nursery online they ship and have everything you need
My first exposure to Muscadines was coincidentally in Orlando. I saw them growing wild along a fence that was bordering a very small citrus orchard. They were impossible to eat at the time in early August (big but hard as a rock and sour). I'm in Jax and doing well with my 2-year old vines. We get more frost days than Orlando and that has me a little worried.
