Good morning SoilBrotha! Your muscadines are beautiful, your doing an awesome job. Seeing this in person is a whole new ball game. Thanks for sharing this Beauty and your knowledge 🍇
I know what you mean I love these things I had to cut some huge ones down on the farm that me and my deceased husband have because I scared the horses would run into the vine I should have just cut it dug up the mother root and let it be. But there's no way I rest a horse running into a muscadine because it was huge it would trip a horse in a minute however when I was eating those down I'm in the Deep South I'm glad you have such good memories of eating muscadine and scuppernong You have to excuse any spelling I'm this country is corn flakes😊
South Mississippi here. New to muscadines so your wisdom is much appreciated. Just planted my first Triumph Muscadine. Set it next to an old fence in hopes that it will take to it. This morning I trimmed back the foliage growing on the trunk leaving the longer piece near the top. Got the idea from another grower. I’m clueless but I keep looking at pictures of those juicy fat grapes and repeat, I think I can, I think I can. Thanks again for sharing!!
Lol you can. Any questions feel free to ask. I have a muscadine Playlist to help alot. Here a video for your new plants th-cam.com/video/vQy49mw7Q-8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ewGNK8_9NhqV6GWa
Try planting four o'clocks. They are are great trap plant for Japanese bettles. They fest on them and it kills them. Plants get to be two or three feet tall in sunny spots or in part shade, and they bloom from midsummer until frost. In my zone 8a climate their tubers overwinter. Maybe you can plant some nearby. Good luck!
Love this channel always positive. Im just now gettin into growing muscadine so im soaking up all the information i can. Also a fellow Georgian. Bremen/Waco area. Preciate ya
It is sure enough Hot in Mississippi too. Mack and I are learning from you. Your vineyard looks impressive. Appreciate your experience and knowledge you are sharing with us. Blessings to you and yours
You have always talked very highly for isons!! I don't know if I spelled the name right but you know what I mean!! You are very knowledgeable about your grapes!! Very informative you are!! I love your Channel!! God bless!!
That's awesome that y'all are getting rain! We haven't had any in weeks 🥺... Hopefully you can spray for those Beatles soon 🤞...The muscadines are looking beautiful 👍👊...
I bought a bunch of preying mantis eggs from Amazon four years ago. I still see them in the garden and there's always egg sacks on the vines. I haven't seen more than a handful of Japanese beetles since and there were millions before. I don't know if that solved it or not, but they haven't been a problem for me in the past few years.
SHANE! If you see this. Do me a favor. Drop ALL those Crushed Beetle Bodies at the root of each Plant. Let the Plant absorb them and help it learn. Also what about Raising Guinea Hens in pens and setting up T style roosts amount the field every 15 feet or so. Let them do predation on garden pests. 2 organic pest controls methods. Guinea fowls voracious appetite for ticks, grass hoppers and beetles may pay for muscadine health while you sip some dessert wine watching the flock tear through like fighter pilots.
Thank you you have a new subscriber, I just learned a lot from you, the wood's here in SC are full of muscadines but they don't produce very much so now I know why it's always to fry here so I'm going to plant some in my back and keep those sucker's watered.
Your Muscadines are amazing! 💜💜💜 I had a small Vineyard of Muscadines on my NC Homestead. Miss that even though I couldn’t take care of the Homestead now. 👌🏾
I'm going through 3 shirts a day right now with all this humidity. I have neglected fertilizing my grapes this year so we'll see how the production is. I do not irrigate the grapes at our house in town and they look great despite the heat and dry weather. I did lose a fig tree there, as well as a plum and pomegranate, but I think they were struggling after that late freeze we had. Farming is always a struggle.
Shane great video. You’re right with your theory. I have some questions. I accidentally cut the tip of a vine that was at the end heading towards the end post. Will it still continue growing. It’s not at the end and obviously that’s my goal for this first year. I have some vines that will achieve hitting the 10ft growth others may take another year. My Ison is doing very well. Thank you for the Muscadine video
David it should be fine. There's usually a bud really close that will try to pop ot and grow so don't worry. Sounds like they are doing great great. 2yr you should have grapes
Grateful for the information. Nice presentation. We're planning on allocating some ranch land to growing muscadine grapes (Southeast Oklahoma). Do you have a video about keeping animals (such as deer) away from eating them? Also, what do you recommend as a water source (if any) for the drip line(s) for an acre (or more) of trellis lines? Dig a well? Can you be emailed for more Q & A? Best wishes in your endeavors!
You can use some solar alarms for deer but we never really have a big problem with them. It's crazy, deer all over the place out here but really not a big problem. I have a whole muscadine Playlist for most of your questions.
I love muscadines and scuppernongs and grapes what a blessing Lastly I got a quick question do I need to fertilize my grapevine it's not scuffled emits grapes I got a time off tomorrow to make them taller so they can reach out there in the shade and they're producing grapes any ideas?
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Time is money. Consider how much money you have spent on unproductive plants, how much time/production you lost waiting 2+ yrs before deciding to rip it out and replant - hoping you'll get a better plant this time. You're having to prune those exceptional vines anyway, just dip 'em and stick 'em when you get back to the shed. If they grow you win, if not you haven't lost anything but just a few minutes of time.
enjoyed this one a lot. I know what you mean bout slow growing. I think mine is the type. Lanes are still way behind while Halls are growing fast and almost to the ed of the wire. Gonna keep an eye on the lanes but one is just now to the top of the wire. Slow Slow Slow
Man you got me biting my fingernails now 😬 I bought 2 Ison’s and 1 Supreme that are supposed to be here late fall to winter. I hope I get good plants. I’m taking my tips mostly from you but also a couple other channels.
Just starting out on wanting to plant some muscadine vines at my house - love your videos! Question - if you have one plant that is doing really well and others that aren't - could you let a runner go out for a bit on one of the plants that is doing really well, cut it and stick it in water to get some roots and then plant it as a new plant?
Good morning Shane. The Orchard looks great. Watching cutting here and there so swiftly , takes my fear away about trimming my vines. If I am ever able to get in my backyard again. Thanks for sharing. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures. Have you heard of Japanese Shine Muscats ?
Thank you so much I just found a huge crop of muscadine vines at the dump area at a local store I had tried some more were the houses of going up when they are developing some land and I knew they were going to cut them down so I just cut some and I think I have one growing but I'm not sure yet just how it's going to do. The one I've been blessed with today are are a bit of hardwood wood semi hardwood and softwood myself and softwood I stripped all the leaves off I hope I did okay I just put them in water at night so I can plan them tomorrow cuz it's blazing hot right now where I live so any suggestions you can give me I have been blessed with propagating plants before. I just hope I didn't strip too many leaves away. Any suggestions you could give me would be fantastic and I thank you so much😊 PS excuse any spelling I'm talking to the phone and I'm a southerner
I thought about Jobe plants face but I like to go organic is the farm across the street where I can get manure and yeah I know to look cool awesome hot steamy stuff on there cuz it'll burn the plants up
Hi Shane! I have a question that I'm hoping you might be able to answer. I have 3 muscadine vines that were given to me by some friends. They rooted them from their own vines last year, and they were planted at my home in East Central AL this March. Just a leafless rooted vine cutting with no runners at all when planted. My friends have maintained that these vines should run 10' down the wire each direction by the end of this year. However, despite keeping them watered and fertilizing monthly, the vines have only run anywhere from 15" - 2.5' in each direction. They are incredibly bushy at the top, no weed competition, and I've kept the trunks clean. They look mostly happy, they just aren't growing as quickly as my friends say they should. What has been your experience on how long a vine should take to run a full 10' down the wires? Any other insight? Thanks!
Some just grow better than others. I would cut everything ba k to 6 inches except for the 2 tou want to run down the wire. I've delt with this and I just replaced the ones that don't want to grow and try again with hopefully some better plants
I bought a property September last yeat,it has muscadines /varities.It has been so neglected - Any tips on cutting back,cleaning up this massive mess. massively overgrown.. i got some 3 - 4 inch trees coming through, and many smaller. Been nervouse i dentifying to cut out bad stuff and not cut grape vine. Big tangle, grapes ;ast year, nothing this year? My grapes are in one long row propably 100 foot plus
Hi, I have what might be a silly question, but I really need to know lol. Say for example, your 3 days into fermentation, but you managed to get to much water can you add more grapes after?
If i only had room for 1 variety, which one should i plant for taste? Im not worried about the most productive variety. I would rather choose the best tasting. I've heard Southern Home is top teir. Would that be true, or another verify considered better?
Hey Shane, you know what's weird, I haven't seen 1 Japanese Beetle this year, but this other Beetle showed up😨. It kinda looks like a Cucumber Beetle but it doesn't bother them !? I hope your Grapes do well despite those nasty Beetles 😝. JO JO IN VT 😆💕
I am in IN and just started hobby growing. Currants(black, red, and white) and grapes (Muscadine, sommerset, and Geneva red) no joke those Japanese beetles are absolute monsters! Have you seen the little aphids on the ends of New growth being herded by ants? Not sure what to do about that. This year I have just been cutting off the area infested with the buggers and put it on pavement and crush/grind it. Should be getting some muscadines before too long. They are starting to switch from green to slightly tinged with purple ish red ish. What exactly do you use for the Japanese beetles? I have tried planting several fruit trees and withing a few days the bastards kill them. I've done the traps but they just aren't enough. (And I am leary about chemicals. IN does not have a pleasant history with pesticides playing nice with nature or humans)
Bees will not benefit from the muscadines untill the fruit starts to rot. Muscadines are air pollinate, the flowers are so small. But grow them for you. 20 ft per plant is recommended but you can go shorter
Why don't you try an start some of your own with the clippings of those healthy ones to test your theory. You are a scientist with all those good observations.
No super easy but they love the heat of the south. I've heard of them being grown up there but come winter they really need some protection from the cold
You would think ag chemical companies would develop a breeding cycle disrupter. Unfortunately, there is more money in grain chemical research, and development.
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Yeah, they retreat into the ground and grub..............can't remember if it's fall, winter and thinking spring may be too late..........................I had 2 ac w/60' old timey perennial garden w/rose beds all over they would eat me alive every year. Cost me a fortune in beetle traps and if the home had not burned down I eventually would have started a treatment program (after I learned), especially if I was growing food
Yes and self fertle. You want female and self fertle. You a self fertle within 50 ft. Of the female to help cross pollinate. Self fertle pollinate themselves
I just want to say I really enjoy your videos but just being honest I really would like to have a phone number to isons nursery that they will answer if you have it because I ordered a bunch of irrigation fittings from them and haven’t received them I’ve sent emails with no response and tried calling them with no answer and just saying they got my money but I have no product. I know you don’t work for them but I did order from them based on your recommendation about them so I’m hoping you can help me but keep up with the videos I enjoy watching them thanks

Gotta watch it with those. They are toxic to pets and people.
Love our 4 oclocks. Didnt know they are poisonous 😮

Hello , I am in Phenix City and found that Malathion works great on those bugs. Your grapes look great, Have a good week and stay cool out there.
Lol thats what I've been using and couldn't remember the name
Your Muscadines are amazing! 💜💜💜 I had a small Vineyard of Muscadines on my NC Homestead. Miss that even though I couldn’t take care of the Homestead now. 👌🏾
Hopefully you can get some more going
You could use a recumbent bicycle to prune those grapes at knee height.
This is very well explained. I need to move some grapes. Hope I can before it's too late. Bless you for your instruction!
I would wait untill they are dormant this winter might have better luck
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia thank you very much for answering. I'll try to do that. Blessings!
Good job

It's said to be the grapes that Muscato wine is made from..
It’s hard to kill a grapevine. The harder you prune the harder they grow & bear.

Good suggestion but no that's not it. I've delta with same thing in other vineyard. Bought new plants and BooM they took off
Hey shane, hope all is well
Thanks Jody l is well lol. Hope All is well for you to
Have you tried Milky Spore to kill off the beetle grubs? I started using it last year and the beetles weren't as bad as the previous year.

Ison variety everytime
Hey Shane, you know what's weird, I haven't seen 1 Japanese Beetle this year, but this other Beetle showed
up😨. It kinda looks like a Cucumber Beetle but it doesn't bother them !?
I hope your Grapes do well despite those nasty Beetles 😝.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
You're so lucky
i live in N. Florida close to GA border and am lucky to never get Japanese beetles
Apparently muscadines air layer pretty well, maybe you could take some of your better vines and do that to replace others?
Oh yea. Definitely what I will be doing this year
Have you done a soil test or anything else?
Yes I have and my theory is correct, some plants are just stronger than others
I am in IN and just started hobby growing. Currants(black, red, and white) and grapes (Muscadine, sommerset, and Geneva red) no joke those Japanese beetles are absolute monsters!

Malathion I worked to but had a real scary smell lol. Strong stuff
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia thank you for the information! Hope your harvest is bountiful!
How do you keep the grass killed under the plants?
A product called Killzall. You can find it on Amazon
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia thanks, I'll take a look at it. I just planted my first muscadines a few months ago.
How much land doI need to plant just a couple of plants, we want to grow them to provide flowers for our bees, thanks
Bees will not benefit from the muscadines untill the fruit starts to rot. Muscadines are air pollinate, the flowers are so small. But grow them for you. 20 ft per plant is recommended but you can go shorter
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia thanks
How do you keep weeds and grass from under your vines?
I spray a herbicide called Killzall
How can you tell if it's a male or female and do you need both for the grapes to grow
Self fertle is best with females
Where do you sell them to if growing this many
We have a you pick every September. People come out and pay by the gallon
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia very nice!
Why don't you try an start some of your own with the clippings of those healthy ones to test your theory. You are a scientist with all those good observations.
Maybe one day when I'm not so pressed for time
Are these hard to grow? I live in OK.
No super easy but they love the heat of the south. I've heard of them being grown up there but come winter they really need some protection from the cold
if i could only make room for 4 vines in my garden i would plant 2 Carlos (medium bronze pollinator) and 2 Supremes (large black female)
That would be great
You would think ag chemical companies would develop a breeding cycle disrupter. Unfortunately, there is more money in grain chemical research, and development.
First, be back after the video 🤣🤣
Do you treat your ground for grubs or just spray your vines
Just spray right now. Just been learning that I can treat for the grubs
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Yeah, they retreat into the ground and grub..............can't remember if it's fall, winter and thinking spring may be too late..........................I had 2 ac w/60' old timey perennial garden w/rose beds all over they would eat me alive every year. Cost me a fortune in beetle traps and if the home had not burned down I eventually would have started a treatment program (after I learned), especially if I was growing food

Yes and self fertle. You want female and self fertle. You a self fertle within 50 ft. Of the female to help cross pollinate. Self fertle pollinate themselves
I just want to say I really enjoy your videos but just being honest I really would like to have a phone number to isons nursery that they will answer if you have it because I ordered a bunch of irrigation fittings from them and haven’t received them I’ve sent emails with no response and tried calling them with no answer and just saying they got my money but I have no product. I know you don’t work for them but I did order from them based on your recommendation about them so I’m hoping you can help me but keep up with the videos I enjoy watching them thanks
Propagate your own plants.
Just easier to buy. I stay super busy and don't need project
