The best was to start to learn how to grow muscadine grapes is to ask someone that's already growing them. With that in mind, I decided to visit Taylor Gardens Nursery and U-pick and ask the owner, Dave Taylor, about how to grow grapes in the south where grape diseases and pests are common. Here's how to fertilize grapes, how to keep raccoons from eating grapes, how to prune grapes, grape vine spacing, how to set up a grape trellis and what types of grapes to grow. We even get to see a cool cross between a concord grape and a muscadine! Though you can't grow concord grapes in Florida, the hybrid is a tasty way to get that full flavor and still get the disease resistance of muscadine grapes.
If you live in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas or any place where it's hot and humid, muscadine grape growing is for you.
In today's video, David The Good and Dave Taylor talk grapes - and if you follow Dave's advice, you can too. Maybe you can start your own grape U-pick! And while you wait for the vines to fill in, be sure to visit the Taylor Gardens Nursery grape U-pick in summer and pick some of their delicious grapes in Citra, near Sparr, Florida.

Nice video. Perhaps a separate mic for the guest next time, as your voice is over powering. Just constructive criticism. Cheers
David, this was one of the videos that got me into muscadines three or four years ago. I remember it clearly but did not know anything else about you. How delightful to see it come up on my feed again, now that my vines are maturing and I have a Southern Home grape as well like the fellow talked about. This was an inspiring trip to a grower and really encouraged me back then. This year we will get a very good harvest. Wish I could send you some wine!
That is very cool, Scott. Thank you. I would love a bit of homemade wine.
Scott Head - Black Gumbo send some my way to 😉
@@davidthegood are you selling some grape cuttings sir?? From philippines
Rewatching as I need to plant mine and I love the way you did yours Scott, but wondered if I could use on a pergola and indeed that was mentioned. Funny, I can’t drink wine anymore and have to go easy on grapes too. :/ But for my family and making juices and jellies, and raw eating would be great.
I've never had a grape vein till this year and I'm loving growing this bad boy! Really cool to see your old videos to.
I planted my first vines, Nesbit (purple) and Sumpter (bronze), almost 20 years ago. They make delicious jelly, juice and wine. My youngest vine is Hunt, a wine variety. I can really tell the difference it makes adding it to the others or as a stand alone. I ordered Carlos (a bronze wine variety) but was mistakenly sent Darlene (table grape). It was 2-3 years down the road before I discovered the error. I rarely do anything with it. It’s incredibly sweet but not good for juice or wine. Plus, I’ve had to pick at night because the hornets love it the best. There’s so much you can do with muscadines. Besides the juice, jelly and wine, there’s muscadine lemonade and muscadine dumplings. 😋
I read about someone who had chickens caged underneath their grape vines, the chickens eliminated weeds and fertilized the vines.
Those things used to grow wild in my grandmothers back yard.
I was there last August and enjoyed the grapes and avocados.
I just planted 20 in Bonita Springs FL. First year good so far. Thank you.
Great work - you'll have an abundance of grapes!
I am trying to revitalize some muscadine for my mother in law in honor of her husband who started them decades ago. Thanks for these tips.
I have put in Sunbelt and Muscadine grapes. The grapes are growing well along the trellis systems and I am excited for fruit next year. Thank you, for more inspiration.
Muscatine grow wild on my property in NE central AL. Hopefully, I can use this info to transplant them ! Thank you David for another great video!
You bet. Look for the ones that are fruiting, as there are often males that won't make grapes.
I recently bought some muscadine seeds and I can't wait to plant them in the spring. They're nice and cozy in my refrigerator right now. I've grown table grapes before but muscadines are native to America and resist all the diseases that plague European grape varieties. I'm so happy your video showed up on my feed. It just reinforces my need to grow these wonderful grapes. Thank you!
Interesting! I just found a volunteer muscadine vine growing on my gardenia. This gives me some ideas about how to train it onto a fence instead!
Been growing muscadines for three years now. Great video!
Terrifically Orchestrated.... Thank You So Much. Dave is Cut
I picked up 3 muscadines today at a nursery. Going to plant them 15 ft apart on my south-facing wall. Can't wait!
What a great resource! My vines are only 7 months old.
I live right down the road from this Nursery such a cool resource to have locally.
I think I will try to plant some at my home in Alabama I remember my dad had a huge vein at home when we were kids that looked like Gazebo which was nothing more than 4x4 post made into a square that the vines would grow up and around him and mom would sit under them in the summer time for shade.
Sounds wonderful.
Hopefully I’ll be growing some on my backyard soon👍
How could I not watch a video by someone called David The Good.
Thank you.
Onlythetruth247 literally why I’m here
Great video. Even though I am in the business of propagating Muscadine Vines, I actually got some good ideas out of this video. I will refere this video to my customers.

Nice Job David - enjoyed the video
They make some awesome jam. Put back about 5 gallons worth a few years ago. Gave some as gifts to friends and family and they loved it. They were shocked to find that it came from wild grape.
Yeah, the wild grapes are great for jam.
Interesting information not being a Grape expert.we have very small sweet intensely flavored muscadines .I dry the skins in a freeze dryer then grind them and put them into capsules using them as a vitamin with many benefits…also craze good as a jam for the juice squeezed …also use the powder as a flavoring in foods ..quite unique…would love to try the. SOUTHERN HOME..as a possible wine eventually as always David thanks for your expertise and sharing…stay blessed
Thank you very very much for making this video i really appreciate it keep up the good work sir
Can someone do a pruning video on the first year and keep it very simple please?😁
Jewish Princess yeah, I second that 🙋🏻♀️
I just found these grapes growing wild on my property. I am just north of Gainesville.
Sparr Fl?? That’s way out in the middle of nowhere! I love it.
THANKS for uploading this video, very informative. Cheers!
My great grandpa had them in a small section of their side yard.
8:18 Smaller grapes are preferred because the highest concentration of acids and flavors is right beneath the skin of the grape.
We found muscadines on the property so Im hoping to get cuttings from it to grow in a more sunny location. Its growing up a tree right where we found it
Good luck.
I never prune my Muscadine vines, nor do i give it any plant food, i just let it do its own thing. This year in SO FLO we've been getting a lot of rain ☔ and wow! You should see my Muscadine vines. This year with all the rain ☔ we've been getting i should have a pretty good crop. Last year i didn't get one grape, the birds 🐦got them all. This year i'm going to keep a sharp eye on them, and i might even try my hand at wine 🍷making. I only bought the one plant at Loews, and i'm no expert by any means. Thanks for making this video.
you shoud prune your vine in late fall they grow back very fast thats where the fruit wiil grow on the new wood if dont prune you will end with arats so thick you pick the friut if you get ant so pruning is must if you want fruit
I love muscadine
Thanks Dave!
I grow some and try to get more people interested in them.

thank you.. love the vid
6:00 I had to put my phone in portrait mode to type, "those grapes are huge!!"
Hey Dave, I’ve successfully rooted and transplanted about 6 wild muscadine vines (all from different vines) off my property. Is there a way to tell if they’re male or female while they’re young instead waiting until they’re grown? I’d hate to put all this time into them and run them on a trellis and not get any grapes
Not that I know of. However, you can graft the vines later if they aren't what you wanted.
It is middle of May, and every year my 3 large Vines have THOUSANDS of very small clusters of what appears to be infant grapes, BUT for the last 6 years these small clusters fall off by early June, with No grapes, except on a 4th Vine that is apx 10 years old. Does anyone tell me what is happening, and what I need to do?
I too am curious. Did you find out?
you can grow these up here in the north too great grapes to grow
Very nice! I'm very interesting in this grapes! Thanks for the video!
Spar Florida,,lol, that place is so old the wood is rusting..you don't see that very often.
Hey buddy I know where Sparr Florida at I stay in Martin Florida at least 7 minutes away
You left out Alabama your neighbor in your description of best places to grow. I can assure it's very hot & Humid here too. Lol They use to grow wild here on my family's land. Not anymore, gonna try growing from seed.
They grow like weeds in Alabama for sure. I live in AL now and there is a vineyard not too far away, loaded with muscadines.
Gary I'm reading your response's about the Muscadine grapes and wondered since you've aquired such a wonderful knowledge about grafting plants why you don't make a video on this subject. I'm sure most of us that want to grow grapes would like to know your version.
What say you Gary?
I so want to do this this yeqr
Before I lived in Florida and they were good remind me of grapes but a lot bigger
looks like you need water those yellow leaves should be dark shinny green in sept mine are
Will plant the Southern Home variety
They taste great.
What about scuppernongs. Do you have any info on them, please
Are you selling bare-root grape vine seedlings for overseas buyers? I would like to import bare root seedlings. please advise. i live in the Tropics and really want to try these warm climate grape varieties.
Year before last I got 85 gallons f Muscatine's off one ten year old vine. That doesn't count the ones I shared with the birds and kids.
Unfortunately the August floods took everything and the landlord cut it down and dug it up before I got a vehicle to go and get it..
I still miss my tiny food forest...
I'm really sorry to hear it's gone - but that's a great yield.
great video!
Thank you.
bom dia, como arrumo ou consigo umas ramas plantar muscadine aqui no brasil voce enviar?
The ground mat would definitely at my place.. Weeds are crazy fast growing.
Any idea for supplier for the southern home ? Variety grapes.
Also any good seedless varieties? Special soil prep?
+agaveman I just put compost and mulch around the grapes after I plant, plus loosen the soil in the hole. There are no good seedless varieties of muscadine - breeders haven't been able to pull it off with these guys. As for Southern Home, I'm not sure. Depends on your location. There are a few nurseries in C. FL that carry them.
I now get lots of vine and less fruit. I prune in Feb. Add lime and a little triple whatever I have on hand. What to do?
So long as you leave a few buds from the previous year's growth, you should get some blooms.
How far apart did he say they were planted
What is the material on the ground called?
"Woven landscape fabric." It's sold by Dewitt Sunbelt
Hey, very interesting. A question if I might? Years ago while driving through the West Port Connecticut area, we spotted a huge bunch of wild grapes along the road about 15' off the ground. The cluster/group was enough to fill a 5 gallon bucket. The grapes themselves were not very big, the size of a dime, blue to concord in color. I had to stand on top of our old style Ford Explorer to reach high enough to grasp a branch to pull them low enough to pick...They made the absolute best jelly I have EVER had. I have not seen these growing in the Indiana, Kentucky & Tennessee areas & I've been scanning every mile of road way the past 12 years trying to spot such grapes again with no luck.. Any idea what kind of wild grapes these could have been? I'd like to be able to find some of these for my yard and not have to drive back to Connecticut? I was hoping to find how to reach out to Dave if you are not aware of these grapes I've described? My wife & I would really like to gather several different wild grapes to grow at home.
Thanks,
mike & judy_Kentucky
I wonder if you found wild grapes called frost grapes. They grow so abundantly up here in Minnesota. I harvested a five gallon bucket full off of my friends plant that had grown wild for years (they didn't even know they had it!) I juiced them last year out of the 13 quarts I got only 3 remain (only because i hid them) and saved some seeds to cultivate some plants for myself.
I would look up frost grapes and see if that was the plant you had seen
i have 5 of the southern home vines!!
Awesome intro music
Do those glasses say lantis optical on the right?
How do you spout the seeds
Hi, thanks for this video, how long it takes to bear fruit.
Usually 2 years, but better yields in year 3.
Thank you
nothing to do with grapes, but I planted cow peas in my raised beds (mainly as a nitrogen fixer) and they have taken over my back yard. Grew over my blackberrys, grapes and everything else in the yard, looks like a kudzu patch
+Rod Mack Sounds awesome. They're fantastic for ground cover and nitrogen. I'm guessing you planted the vining types. The frosts should be coming before too long... they'll take care of it and leave good compost/nitrogen behind.
Just turn the pigs loose in there, they'll take care of it! Or the goats.

just wondering about the mats you have down are they pourus or not the vines need plenty of water this may have something to do with your leaves the roots run beneath the wire that circle may not be enough
Thelandscape fabric allows water through.
@@davidthegood i had this fabric on my vines had to move it was bone dry after a rain if water puddles its not soaking in just trying to help you .
`In northwest GA. we made wine from the dark ones and they make good pies, also. Several of our presidents loved the pie
..
That sounds marvelous.
I love pie.
They're beautiful! Will these train upwards if I have a vertical trellis?
Yes, they will. I've seen them climb to the top of an oak tree, though that makes them impossible to harvest. A friend had some trellises that were made of hog panels and about 7' tall. Perfect for walking beneath and harvesting.
Awesome thank you! Would love to give these a shot!
At the end of the video, he mentions that he anchored the post with an African Stay? My googlefu is failing me...any help? What is that eye anchored to? Love your videos, we live up the road in Hamilton County. Thanks!
+Sean Cary I think he had a screw-in metal anchor in the ground. He's making jokes, since he's African.
Thanks for stopping by, Sean!
David, awesome work, thanks! We just bought a home with wild muscadine grapes growing all over the back fence of the property but I don’t see any grapes. I’m wondering if it’s possible to get them producing for me. Any thoughts or suggestions? I’m working on turning the backyard into a food forest and any volunteer natives are certainly welcome!
They may be male. The wild vines come in male and female forms, so if there is no fruit you may lack the latter. Female vines can be grafted in, though.
I've been growing mine from 2018 and my own don't look nothing like that. My stem is smaller. Like a house plant. I'm in California and I'm growing it in pot. Is that the reason my own don't look nothing like this?
Yes. The root restriction will dwarf plants.
What are the names of the grapes that are hybrid version of the Concord grapes and the mousketine
Southern Home
How much space does he have for the grapes? Acres? Janice
+jksatte I'd say about an acre and a half.
how to buy cuttings
What's the 10 10 10 feed he talked about?
Fertilizer...10- 10-10...even amounts of nitrogen, potassium , I forgot the other one..NPK..look it up
Phosphorus
How the heck do you keep squirrels off of these?? We've got them growing wild all over the yard, and the actual plant part of the vine is healthy and flourishing. But I've never seen a grape, and my bf's grandfather says it's because squirrels get them before they get even this big.
Wild Muscadines have male and female plants. A lot of vines you see in the wild are males and will never produce fruit. You have to have a female plant with ovaries to get fruit. The ones in this video are probably breed to be self fertile with a male and female part in one vine.
Hi David, planted muscadine vines yesterday!
Opted for good compost, trace minerals and rain water to keep it organic. Yipppeeeee!
By the way, how is Coronary the puppy?
Please take the camera off the fruit. I can not take it. "I LOVE THEM". I am going to grow these one day.😋😋😋😋😋
Looks like his website was taken down. May want to remove the link. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. Yikes!
If I want to order Muscadine grapes, what can I do to get the muscadine wine
I am not great at making wine - there are likely some good resources online, however.
Clean!
Dave, What is the concord muscadine grape cross named that you mentioned in the video?
Southern Home.
Are these what I use to eat in the fields I played in in miami we called them fox grapes?
How well would these grow in zone 9b?
They should do great. I have seen them all the way into the tropics.
Some years mine are not sweet. Can you help?
Jerry Johnson what i hear is lime around the roots or cut some of the runner so that sunlight can get to it . good luck
Never met a Muscadine I didn't like 😀
Does these grow well in Southwestern Virginia?
Terry Roger Epling my family grew them in WV but covered them in winter
I didn't hear if he planted them from seeds or not. I saw and heard about how to space them but i didnt h ear if he planted the seeeds seeds.
These are all planted from vine cuttings. Some were propagated by
nurseries with patents, others were not copyrighted and were rooted by
Dave and others. Muscadines are really easy to grow from stem cuttings.

+David The Good thank you. but do you know if they can be grown successfully from seeds?
Valerie Anderson
They can be but I haven't done it myself. The results are variable but I would totally go for it. Cuttings are easier, though.
+David The Good ok thanks much.
Can you tell me how to keep raccoons etc out of my dines?
Hard to keep them out, but trapping them with a Hav-A-Hart, then executing them and feeding them to the grapes will reduce the population.
I meant to say what is the best bait?
How many feet I between
Generally on a single-line system, 20'.
@@davidthegood thank you
I want to grow Southern Home grapes.
They're not bad at all. I like the shape of their leaves. Southern Home was a patented variety but the patent has expired, so if you know anyone growing them and can get some cuttings, you can easily start a bunch of plants.
Did he say “ Black Widow Spider” 🙄😳
