NC zone 7 or 8 kind of on the lineQ.Muscadines
I have two muscadine grapevines that I started from seed about 4 years ago. They are growing beautifully and last year made little flowers as they are doing now.. but last year they never made grapes. I thought that maybe the vine I had gotten the seed from was not self-fertile so I bought a Late Fry earlier this year to help, but it only has one cluster of flowers so I don't know if that will be enough to help out my older vines. It's hard to tell if what is on the vine is flowers or baby grapes. First time I have grown grapes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :) Paula

June 12, 2016A.It does take a few years for Muscadines to mature enough to produce fruit. As long as they are growing and maintaining a healthy structure you should see fruit soon. Here is an article about caring for your Muscadine vine;

September 5, 2017A.Grapes are ideally pruned every winter, because that way you will avoid removing leaves that are still actively providing energy for the plant. You can remove some of the overgrowth now, but keep this to a minimum and remove the rest of the overgrowth after the vine has lost all its leaves. Here's more about how to prune grapevines:

Certified ExpertA.That should, actually, be fine. There would be no harm in, at least, trying. If it doesn't hold than you will be back to the same point. Nothing lost. I would say go for it and see if it holds.

20872Q.Muscadine vine wilting
My vine is wilting. I see no insects on leaves or vine. There are no spots or insect damage to leaves or vine. We've had plenty of rain. Any ideas?

Certified ExpertA.Without photos, and the last statement of rainfall amount, I would guess that they have contracted a fungal infection.
Luckily, this will be easy to stave off. Use DOLOMITIC LIME and WETTABLE SULFUR together according to all instructions. Since you can't control the rainfall, this will be your best defense against infection to have these in the soil. I would apply this at least once or twice per year as a preventative, as well.

Certified ExpertA.Likely, they are not getting the proper balance of soil nutrition. Make sure to test the soil, often, and feed according to soil tests.
