How to grow Muscadine grapes in your garden to provide a delicious fruit for your table and food storage. Muscadine is native to the Southeastern United States and can adapt to temperature growing zones that seldom fall below 10°F. Muscadines have a high degree of tolerance to pests and diseases.

The fruit production will be reduced if the vines are shaded for more than several hours each day during the growing season. Muscadine grapes will survive and produce a crop on a wide range of soils as long as internal drainage is good. Plant failure can be expected in locations where water stands for even short periods after heavy rains.

The following are much improved recommended cultivars even though ‘Scuppernong’ bronze and ‘Thomas’ black are the cultivars most widely known and asked for by the public.

Carlos — bronze, mid-season, medium size, perfect flowered, very dry stem scar, good fresh or for wine.

Doreen — bronze, very late, medium size, perfect flowered, dry stem scar, good fresh or for wine.

Magnolia — bronze, early, medium to large size, perfect flowered, wet stem scar, excellent fresh flavor, wine and juice.

Nesbitt — black, early, large size, perfect flowered, dry stem scar, good fresh, but poor wine color.

Noble — black, early, small size, perfect flowered, wet scar, good fresh, wine and juice.

Regale — black, mid-season, medium size, perfect flowered, wet scar, good fresh, wine and juice.

Triumph — bronze, early, large size, perfect flowered, dry scar, good fresh, fair wine.

All of these cultivars are perfect flowered (male and female flower parts), so a single vine will be fruitful.
