Certified ExpertA.Pruning is a must for muscadine grapes, and without it, could result in little to no grapes. Old wood must be cut away. Fruit is borne on new growth.
Here is an article that tells how and when to prune:

Columbia, SCQ.Can I Pick My Muscadines Before They Mature?
Yesterday, I looked at my muscadines. They were looking great but weren't quite ready. This morning, I had lost hundreds of them to the birds. Can I pick my muscadines before they mature? Will they finish the process off the vine?

Certified ExpertA.Yes, you can freeze them. Spread the clean, dry grapes on a tray like you would blueberries, then put them in freezer bags once they're frozen. Here's an article with another idea for preserving them: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/freeze/muscadine.html.

35954Q.Won\’t Bear Fruit.
20+ years ago, the property that we built on had a modest crop of Muscadine. To date, there hasn\'t been any fruit. The vines look like they have infant fruit, but don\'t mature. The fruit of the one plant that has produced, sadly is about 70\' up in a pine tree. Any suggestions at this point will be greatly appreciated.

Certified ExpertA.They can live for quite some time! I would make sure that the soil parameters are withing range. Fertility should be good. The pH should be on the acidic side.
Good soil health should repair diminished fruiting.
