Perry wanted his own muscadines. As a simple home gardener he planted seeds and nursey stock very successfully. He followed this process for three years with video updates until he was eating his own delicious fruit in abundance.
I was “just a guy who wanted his own muscadines” in 2018. Wound up planting 400 vines. Yes, it is can be hard work installing and maintaining a vineyard. Got my own muscadines though, and a few for others soon hopefully.
wow i know its 2024 but wow you did so great dude !! im on my journey to growing some from seed and im very excited they are very small right now but one day mine will look like yours
this is for the folks that want to add a vine of the same type they have now this fall take a long runner off the wire usually there will be several till you prune lay this runner on the ground start covering it up about 3 ft from the tip let it lay all winter next spring take it up easy see if it rooted cut below the roots and plant it
i grow scuppernong muscadines the gold also black for polynating im adding 100 more ft to my vines set the post today this aug 19 -20 i am rooting cuttings to plant here next spring they are immune to a lot of grape problems also they have 1/2 sugar as a reg grape i have to watch my sugar intake if you ever taste a gold scuppernong you will want to plant also
I bought some growth hormone for plants and used it to propagate desirable plants, saving a lot of money. It came in powder form. I just dampen the scion and dip it in the powder, then put it in the ground with water and mulch to keep the ground moist until it puts out more leaves.
i got my info on muscadins form isons nursery in GA. they a booklet from a to z grape and muscadines it is free if buy some plants how to set posts what type wire how to prune they 80 yrs exp.
if you havent already you may want to add calcium nitrate for a dark green vine add a handful in a 2 ft circle around each vine in spring watch what happens iknow your vines are 9 yrs old but i hope it helps someone.
Do you make jelly, jam and hull pie. I use agar agar to thicken my jelly and jam and use 1 cup sugar per gallon of juice and pulp. I buy the agar agar at the oriental store (they came in 2 stick packages at 0.7 oz. and I use 1 stick per 2 cups juice and or pulp, the jam is soft form) cheaper than the powder in the health food stores. Enjoy the flavor with much less sugar. Process in hot water bath 10 - 15 minutes. Adjust to how firm you like your jams and jellies. Have fun.
i used 4x4x8 treated post 24inchs deep with some concrete that gave me 6ft post for wires one at 6ft one at 4 ft 25 ft apart with 1 vine in the middle the3rdyear they were post to post two wires the can look at yours to see how its done a picture is worth a thousand words
you may not know this but the skin of the muscadine has more vitamins than grapes also te seed has property that helps prevent aging drug makers value these seeds highly just so you know.
Growing from seed is a great project, but you really have no clue if your plant has all the good "genes" from the mother plant.....in other words it's a total gamble! Grafting is the only sure method to really know what you will get.
who knows --- if you plant a seed if may be like vine you took it from it may be better bigger taste better that is how all the different types came about so plant a lot and hope for the best you will get someting
perry ifyou think those taste good get some gold scuppnongs if you dont have any they outstaing in taste i have black and gold tocompare gold wins hands down ps i thing any body can follow what you have done they look great by the book????
