Cool video! We’ve got an old Foxgrape vine on the fence that’s probably 30 years old. There a little seedy for me but my neighbor Loves em. We just cut a clothes basket full today! (Took about 10 minutes) Anyway it still makes a pretty vine! ✌️
They grow in my back yard on my fence but I have never seen any grapes on them been here 20 years ill look again. also have those wild one in the trees. great video thanks.
I remember swinging on bullis vines when I was a kid. We pretended to be Tarzan lol. We also ate the wild grapes and some people made wine with them. They make fantastic jellies.
Thanks Danny and Wanda, great video upload! We planted the purple muscadines and the bronze here this year, the bronze had several nice clusters on it before that late frost knocked most of them back but we still have maybe a dozen or so on the vine, hopefully as they mature over the next few years we will begin to see an increase in fruit production. The wild ones grow everywhere here, we even have some in our backyard in a tree along the fence line, but as you said the squirrels and birds love them so they are of no benefit to us. Sending y'all blessings from here in Tifton!
Just bought 2 muscadine vines from a big box store and they took off like crazy. $3.00 a piece. Bought a lot of things for that price, in 1 gallon containers.
Quite a wild crop, there, Danny! I thought I saw a big elderberry bush behind the scuppernong vines. Do y'all ever do anything with those? they're everywhere here!
We had wild grapes growing up in our Arborvitae Trees, I had no idea that you could eat them. They grow everywhere here in Michigan. God provides! Thank you for making informative videos, I’ll be watching for the grape harvesting and juice making videos 😉 P.S. how do people afford to buy land? It’s crazy expensive here in Michigan, do they take out loans, or sell a kidney? I would love just a few acres to grow fruit trees, grape vines, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and a fantastic elevated vegetable garden (bad back and arthritis in my knees), maybe a few chickens but nothing more. How many acres do you think that would take?
Excellent video. I live in Southport, NC and I have Muscadines growing wild all over my property and was wondering what I can do with them besides pick them and eat them. Would like to see a video of you guys processing yours when the time comes.
When I was young we used to have a place in East Texas where we would go in the woods and find what Moma called wild plum trees. We would lay sheets under it and shake the tree for the nickel size fruit. Moma made the best wild plum jelly. Do y'all have those where you are? I have since married and moved away and no one here in Florida knows what I'm talking about.
Wild plums in the southeast are about as rare as Mesqite in Texas. LOL I was raised in Alabama and the plum trees provided a lots of fruit thruout the summer. Delisious.
@@georgerodriguez1191 where in N Florida? Do you know if they can be bought at a farmers market? I would LOVE to have some. If I remember they are ripe around July? but I could be wrong.
@@dianem4919 I'm on the border of Madison and Lafayette Counties. But they grow wild throughout the Panhandle all the way down to Central Florida. You can spot them around March when they're in full bloom (little white flowers). They're called Chickassaw plums
im 87 yrs old i love muscadines as a kid we went to the woods lookig for them you did not have all gang riots back then you knew everbody in the area you went school with them played ball look out for each other i joined the army in 52 with 2 of my friends went over seas KOrean war we all came home ok how times have changed ------sub division take up all woods theses days you my my get shot at -----god help us
Off topic but will wild strawberries, the little tiny ones that grow in the lawn with violets with no scent, will the wild strawberries cross with garden strawberries? Seems my wild strawberries got bigger and sweeter since I planted a strawberry patch a few years ago.
Boy it’s hard for me to not cut those vines. They will kill those trees. We have them or something very similar here in Ohio we just call wild grape. Another good video.
Hello, really like your videos, so I did subscribed. In my property I have several of these wild grape vines that go up in the red pine trees that are in average 60 foot tall. the base of the vines are from 6 to 8 inches. couple of these trees came down in the last storm and I wnted to know what you consider it will be the best way to domesticate them. Thanks
I just ordered 20 mustang seeds 8 dollars.. 2-4 seeds per grape makes these grapes valuable. Growing for seed they may give the biodiversity to fight the next blight?
QUESTION.. DO I SEE AN ELDERBERRY BUSH/TREE IN THE BACKGROUND AT THE END 11.45 . ANOTHER GOOD ONE FOR HEALTHY DRINK/TONIC. PEOPLE WILL GO MORE TOWARDS THESE AS THE GSM DEEPENS. MANY OUT ON THE ROAD, WILL MISS THESE. GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT THE MINT UNDER THE VINES.
Danny, I hope you see this and HELP a fellow neighbor over here just NE of Mobile, AL. I, too, am about 30 miles from the Gulf in the backwoods of a very rural community. I saw you eating what you called "HUCKLEBERRIES" in this video and wondered how that could be since mine are still in the GREEN STAGE. I have searched all over the internet and TH-cam for the difference in wild blueberries and wild huckleberries and can find nothing that helps me identify the bushes & trees that I have. I have wild huckleberry trees and they are full of baby green huckleberries now. I can identify these readily usually by their rounded green leaves and red (sometimes peeling barked trunk/branches). I have THOUSANDS of what I THOUGHT was wild blueberry bushes growing all over my 40 acres of woods. I have one section close to the house that I cleared from around and pruned a bit last year and did have some flowers this spring but the frost got them with the last cold snap we had. To my knowledge, they have never had fruit before or I have not noticed that they did. I had dug up some low growing bushes (I THOUGHT were wild blueberries) at a neighbors place that actually had berries on it last year and it survived and I had a dozen or so little sweet juicy blueberries a couple of weeks ago and I am still getting one or two here & there. These bushes are different from the huckleberry trees and even the smaller huckleberry trees in their branching, stems etc., I am having problems identifying the wild blueberries. Are the trees huckleberry?? Are the bushes blueberry?? I don't want to keep wasting my time trying to transplant to my wild fruit orchard area if they are not. I LOVE all the video's you do and have learned a LOT about plants, trees and vegetable gardening from you. I'm getting back to the basics after retiring and starting my homesteading life AGAIN. Gets kind of hard once you reach age 62 with limitations but I feel that it is something that we will have to do in order to survive HARD TIMES I feel are coming, sooner than later. I would greatly appreciate ANY INFO you can offer me on wild huckleberries & blueberries. MUCH LUCK AND MANY BLESSINGS FOR A BOUNTIFUL, SUCCESSFUL HARVEST THIS YEAR!
Deep South Bama GRITS just found an app called PlantNet and allows you to take a picture of fruit and leaves and it gives you the identification of the plant
@@654Bearcub Great find!! I will see if I can find it and install it to use in my ventures in the woods. Danny did a video for me and explained that those trees I thought were wild huckleberry were WINTER HUCKLEBERRY or FARKLEBERRY trees. Those are mainly for the birds & wildlife to eat as they are small, tart & full of tiny seeds like sand. I did harvest some this past fall/winter and ate some and they were actually good...would be quite tasty in an emergency situation if you were hungry. I was going to try to make jam with some but didn't have time...maybe this year. I do have some regular wild huckleberry trees/shrubs, tho, so I am happy. Thanks for sharing the info on the app you found. I will definitely check it out!
Gerhard Braatz if you can take a pot with good soil and find a long vine with a good node plant it in the dirt while it’s still attached to the main vine. Then after the fall cut lose from main vine and you now have a vine to transplant to its new home. Hope this helps. Sorry Danny and I saw that you hadn’t answered yet. 😊
Question Danny I just planted some muscdines this spring. I'm in zone 6A. In your opinion do you think they will make it? I thought about wrapping them in burlap for the winter. What are your thoughts?
i have scuppernong vines bronze and black for polination about 50 ft away is wild muscadines they have no effect om vines my vines are 6 yrs old some of the bronze are over an inch in dia most wild muscadins 1/2 to 3/4 i boreda1 inch hole inpiece ov ply wood just to see the bronze will not fall thru that hole so they are over 1 in ad delish?????
I have a question about musadine seeds. I started vines from 3 varieties: pink, bronze and a large purple. Will these seeds be the same as the parent plant or go back to the wild species.
And they also grow wild. I lived not far from the Mother Vine in NC. As they say, all Scuppernongs are muscadines, but not all muscadines are Scuppernongs. :) And Scuppernongs makes some of the best jelly. Still remember that taste.
@@VickiTakacs. Persimmons. There's a native variety that grows in the south. Make sure they're ripe before you eat them . They'll turn your mouth inside out if they ain't ripe. Mayhaws grow in wet swampy areas, also in the south, similar to a tiny crab apple. Seeet and tart. Most folks make jelly with them. Huckleberries also grow wild round here. The paw paws here grow on shrub like plants instead of trees. "Here" is deep southern Georgia btw.
I'm trying desperately to eradicate those wild grapes from our land. They are incredibly invasive. Our land has never been lived on. Some of ours are very old too.
Just started 2 vines of muscadines last year in my backyard garden. Looking forward to enjoy them. Thanks Danny!
Hello,really interesting never knew about how all those grapes grow.Glad you have all these in your woods.Be well you all.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡...........
This was really interesting. When my brother and I were little, we liked scuppernongs.

Thanks for sharing! I just bought some bare root muscadines and grapes from Stark Bros and I can't wait for them to break dormancy & take off.
Those are fascinating grapes 🍇
Danny, this was such interesting information. You are a natural teacher, and give the best tutorials.
Thank you😊
Thank you Danny I have wild vines and some I planted. I make jelly and syrup. Will try juice this year.
The juice is awesome you just have to strain it good and let it set over night in the fridge then pour it up to freeze it.
We have wild muscadines in our back yard right along the woods. Thanks for the informative video!

Danny, do you have herbs? comfrey? You could use it for your back if you make a salve - really good.
I see a whole lot of wine making potential.......

Most I have done went back to the wild.
Muscadine seeds seldom ever produce vines true to there mother plant.

I use to but haven't in a long time.
What do you use to juice your grapes? Love you two!
We use a chinois I think that is how it is spelled.

Scuppernong is just a variety of bronze muscadine. Same fruit other than color.
And they also grow wild. I lived not far from the Mother Vine in NC. As they say, all Scuppernongs are muscadines, but not all muscadines are Scuppernongs. :) And Scuppernongs makes some of the best jelly. Still remember that taste.
We have muscadines everwhere on the farm make jelly and wine and 5 acres of kudzu what a mess.

Whoa, what are the first two there like? I love paw paws.
@@VickiTakacs. Persimmons. There's a native variety that grows in the south. Make sure they're ripe before you eat them . They'll turn your mouth inside out if they ain't ripe.
