Hi from ky. IV got 5 muskidine plants I grew from seed this spring. What is the best way/time to separate them and plant in the ground. I've got beautiful pics
Hello please help I have an overgrown muscadine vine in my home from previous owner., it has two main cordons but there are cordons that are on the main cordons if that makes sense. do i cut them off to leave two main ones?
Can they be pounded now first of March or should just wait till the fall.new plant 1 yr old showed little clusters last yr but didn't yield and large fruit.
This is right on time for after this growing season. I inherited two rows of fines that are about 30 yeards long and didnt have a clue, I was just chopping off everything back in January.
I just obtained some property that I just discovered has muscadine grape vines! It is very overgrown at this point. How do I go about sustaining or maintaining the vine? I would really like to get it under control and reap the benefits of the grapes. Only discovered the vine at the very end of the peak season!
Really good and educational video. Question, how do you remove the grass around the vine? I wouldn’t think you’d want to spray any chemicals. Thanks for sharing.
I saw some farmers just used weeding tools to unroot the weeds/ grass around the main trunks in about 2 feet diameter circles. They then leaved those unrooted materials on top of that area to shade the trees/ plants roots and let them rotted to return back the nutrients to the vines/ trees. It doesn't take long for each trunk, but I guess they would have to do that periodically. The grass/ weeds that are far away from the trunks then you don't have to work on them. I have question on how long they keep the muscadine vines until the time they get too old to produce?
I'm planting mascadine's in my garden. It's heavy clay soil. I'd like to have them in raised beds. What size should I make the beds and what should I fill them with?
they love sandy soil mix river sand and some top soil only need 6-8 inches deep just remove clay in a 3 ft circle replace it with a tub full sand and soil plant the vine in the center or make a box 3 ft square 8inchs deep fil it full only need 1 plant every 25 ft takes 3 yrs vine to cover 2 wire 12 ft each direction orient the wire north and south not east and west ( best sun light for vines )
you can use roundup ----- round up has enter thru the leaves i took black plastic 4 in corrg, drain pipe cut at 18 inch split so you can slide it on the vine keep rat rabbits and such from chewing on the vine at gd level so you spray without getting any thing on the vine
I have a muscadine vine that I planted from seeds. I have prolific growth, but no grapes. I have read that you have to have a male and female plant in order for the vines to produce. How do you determine the sex of the plant?
From the internet: Muscadine don't grow true from seeds. That could result infertile vines, or vines with fruits that don't have the good characteristics of the parents. Muscadine seeds can be grown, but the resulting plant will not grow true from seed. Muscadine grapes prefer to grow in sunny, well-drained soils of USDA hardiness zones 6 through 9. The only muscadine grape that grows reliably from seed is the wild muscadine grape. To grow muscadine grapes from seed, cut the muscadine grapes in half, remove the seeds from the pulp of each grape, and set the clean muscadine grape seeds onto a paper towel to dry overnight. Muscadines will grow best in zones 6-10.
You tell the sex by the flowers. Male grapes will have a large clusters of flowers but they never produce berries. The female flowers will be pointed. It takes a few years before they start producing flowers. ruclips.net/video/j-z4drfADPQ/видео.html
say it this way fruit comes on new wood-----that is 1 reason for pruning if you dont prune you will have a rats nest of worthless vines only leave 3 nodes on each side chute just leave side chute 1 every 8 inch take out the rest by april next year you can not tell you pruned it grows back so fast add 10-10-10 mid june july aug some also add cal, nitrate in the fall helps relieve stress of fruiting good luck

NC STATE IS A LITTLE BETTER
This video is much more helpful than the paper handouts from LSU.

Great Video Thanks Very Much Great information

you did good it works i did the same thing my first vines if it looked too long i cut it off next year they were loaded
nice inheritance

QUESTION - What gauge / type of wire should they be trellis on? Thank you.
Go with number 9 wire. You can find it at almost any hardware store or rural king. Usually comes in 50-100 feet per roll for under $20

is it safe to used weed killer around the base of the muscadine and other fruits.
Great question. I need the answer to this as well. I think it may be not safe and will affect the fruit.

@@grace2garden403 I killed one of my muscadines using weed killer.
YESN USE SOMETHIN TO BURN THE GREEN ONLY LIKE GRASS KILLER@@grace2garden403
USE THE OPPOSITE TO BROAD LEAF KILLER@@frankdavidson9675

I wonder if you can make a muscadine and concord grape hybrid?
great teaching
what if instead of 3 buds you leave 4-6 bud length
TOO MUCH U FAILED
Thanks...Very good information...
Thank you sir for the info
muscadines are very good for you you can eat everything but the seeds the hulls have an anti ageing (mineral )
Maybe at 77 years this is why my family calls me the Dick Clark of family!
most folks take every thing off the vine from gd to 1st wire worth less folege??????dont look right
"muscadines fruit on last year's wood" What?
Yes, muscadine fruit are borne on new shoots arising from last year's growth.
The fruit will be picked off new wood. That’s one major reason you’re pruning..to get new growth.
say it this way fruit comes on new wood-----that is 1 reason for pruning if you dont prune you will have a rats nest of worthless vines only leave 3 nodes on each side chute just leave side chute 1 every 8 inch take out the rest by april next year you can not tell you pruned it grows back so fast add 10-10-10 mid june july aug some also add cal, nitrate in the fall helps relieve stress of fruiting good luck
