I've got seeds from some of the Muscadines and Scuppernongs we had this summer. I wonder how long it'll take for me to get my own grapes. (I've read 4 years.)

They're in the freezer now (after having sat on top of the fridge for a few months). I was hoping not to wait that long, but don't see any reason I won't be able to.

The grape seeds that I save MUST be stratified to germinate (90-120 days at 33-39 degrees). I store them at room temperature, first. I put them in the fridge 90-120 days before I want to plant them.
I don't know if these are the same requirements for Muscadines and Scuppernongs. You'll find out. I'm not sure, but freezing them might kill them. Gary |

Does anyone know if it's possible to take a cluster (after stripping bare) haaa from the grocery store and get it to root?
I whittled away a few ends and dipped them in stimulator and placed in water. But I'll feel pretty stupid after a couple weeks of changing water if this is not even possible. |

I don't see it happening. You need leaf buds on a piece of vine for propagation.

Cut off this years growth next late winter before they start to bud out.
Place in moist growing medium and they will start to take root. Make sure you have at least one bud on both ends one for the soil and one to make leaves. And always make sure you plant them in the right direction. In other words the part that is closest to the root goes in the soil. They will not survive planted upside down. You can also air layer them to get roots to growing before you ever cut them from the main plant. This may sound crazy but I think it has a lot to do with simple faith. If you start something knowing you are going to fail you will fail. If you start something thinking you might fail but are willing to keep trying you will be successful. Worth |

If anyone is still looking for varieties for Northern area I put quite a bit of research into this last year as I wanted a couple that would grow fro me. I settled for 2 earlies, Himrod, a seedless green and Vanessa a blush red. They went in last year and are now growing like weeds.
I had a very old Black Hamburg in the UK and when I pruned it I stuck the bits in damp sandy soil and left them in the greenhouse, they almost always rooted and I wasn't fussy about how I was planting them. |

I have enjoyed muscadines and scuppernogs for many years. Scuppernogs are the larger green/bronze color. Season usually commences in August and is over when September concludes...
You may want to try muscadine wine. One of the largest producers is Duplin Winery located in Duplin, NC near the coast and Wilmington. Wal-Mart, Total Wine are among some of the retailers who carry this variety. Do not know if it is in all stores. The wine is definitely on the sweet side, but retains the muscadine flavor. My wife loves it and Cardiologist say it has a tremendous amount of antioxidants... If you prefer the taste of Merlot, you will not like muscadine wine.
