My 3 year olds are loaded. Now I just have to keep the deer and crows out. I'm starting to propagate some of my favorite varieties for friends and family. Your orchard looks great!
It's super easy. Just scar the runner and put the scar in a pot with dirt or potting soil. 90% of them will root. You can leave them attached until next spring and then plant them or leave them in the pot until next fall. Most of my vines were brought when we moved here in 2020.
So I’m just gonna set up one row of “out of the woods” kind of muscadine. All the maintenance pretty much the same? I have them all over my field edge. They have purple grapes that taste like candy they so sweet.
Your vineyard is looking good. My Darlene didn't set many grapes this year, but it's only 2 years old. They're very tasty though. For a female, I've had better luck with Pam. It's earlier and sets lots of fruit. Good luck with your you pick!
Shane your vineyard looks great. Well planned out. Did you rate these muscadines on taste or production or both. I have Black beauties and they are my second favorite behind Pam as far as taste. I know taste is all personal preference. Just wanting to understand your favorites. What are your top 3 muscadines by Taste? Earlier this month I ordered more Pam, Early Fry and Late Fry.
Your vines look great!! Will your i pick em be selected customers or a open for the public? I would love to come and support. Thanks for sharing and keep us updated.
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia lol you get weird nicknames in the military. I have 6 vines right now and a monster wild one on the tree line. All 6 are different varieties and the 5 big ones all have berries now. And the small one just put pollen sacks on last week. Is it normal for them to do that this late or is this just growing pains from them being in the ground for the first time? I had them started in 5 gallon buckets for two years before we bought the property in Jan.
Shane I have a question. My scuppernong (Summit and Carlos) are beginning to put off grapes for harvest, about a handful every day. The question is: Can I prune back excess second growth vines that will not be used for next years growth? The plants were super vigorous even with the heat and lack of rain here in West Texas. So much so that harvest will be a nightmare getting to and seeing clearly the ripe grapes. thanks for all your advice and videos, it has been super helpful.
Exceptional is the right word. I just hope my Ison and Supreme do as well next season. I do water pretty heavy ( 6 to 8 gallons a day ). We have had 100 plus degrees almost every day since mid June. Thanks for all your help.
Thank you for all of the great advice and great videos! I have two muscadine related questions: first I am going to put in 2 vines - definitely going to do an Ison's for the first. For the second I keep going back and forth between a second Ison's and a Carlos. Main purposes of both are going to be eating and wine. What do you think for the second - go with a second Ison's or a Carlos? Second question - for where I am putting the vines they are going to be separate - so I will have 2 rows, one vine per row. I am going to get a pressure treated round post and wondering if I should go 6" post or if 5" will do since its only supporting one vine. Also if you read quickrete's site, they say for a 6" post dig a 18" diameter hole and put in 11 bags of quickrete which seems excessive for what I am using it for. I wanted to see what size posts you use (or would recommend for just 1 vine) and what size hole you dig for that size post. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Ison Definitely, they are great to eat and makes awesome wine and jelly. Carlos is awesome to,they load up heavy every year and tastes great just a little on the small side. Another thing about those grapes is they are both self fertle and the self fertle variety always produce way better. As far as you posts I used 5" with 1 bag of 80lb concrete in each hole. I just dug mine with a post hole digger straight down about 2 1/2 to 3 ft put in concrete and BooM no problem. Tip.. try to make your rows 20 ft long put plant I. The middle because your best grapes are going to be at the 10 ft range. Check out my muscadine Playlist as well for alot of muscadine videos that might help. Good luck and keep me posted
There are a lot of possibilities. Water is one. Ph may be low so your plants can't take up the fertility they need. Japanese beatles can cause a lot of damage. Muscadines are expending a lot of energy right now. Grapes are growing and the runners are growing a foot a week. Try cutting back your runners or maybe knocking half the grapes off so the energy can focus on the remaining grapes. That's hard for me to do. You CAN over water your plants. Here in GA, in July and August, that's hard to do.
We've had a few with the yellow leaves but not sure how old or you're conditions where your at, summer puts some huge stress on em this time of year. Water hard. We water ours pretty much every night this time of year
Don't worry plant them in fall or winter while dormant and should be fine. You can plant in spring and summer as well just better while they are dormant
