A fun fact on muscadinesis that all varieties bloom at the same time even though they may bear fruit at different times. So, when you see them noted on their description pages as early or late season, that means when their fruit is ready for harvest. Muscadines are either female or self-fertile. Female vines must be planted within 50 feet of a self-fertile muscadine vine to bear fruit. The more pollinators you have the more fruit the female plants will yield, although one self-fertile muscadine vine will pollinated up to 3 female vines.
Regardless of which self-fertile pollinator used, it will not affect the color or other characteristics of the fruit from the female plant.
Muscadines, as with most fruiting plants, require full sun and a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5. Space muscadines 15 ‘apart with 10’ rows for home gardens. Muscadines will need to be grown on trellises. Sawdust, cottonseed mote or peat moss will either slow down growth, damage or kill the plants. Do not use manure of any kind around young muscadine plants.
Typical yields for female plants are 60 lbs. per vine with the self-fertile varieties producing 80 lbs. per vine. Our plants should begin bearing fruit in 2 to 3 years.
When reading the plant descriptions, you will see the term dry stem scar on these plants. This refers to plant varieties that can be used in commercial production. It means that the berries of these varieties do not tear or separate easily from the cluster giving them excellent holding or storing quality.
