Agree with Smurfe. The Ison's book is a fantastic resource for Muscadine growers. I started four plants this year in my side yard and they are roughly half way up a guide wire to my trellis wire. Following the suggestions for fertilization, watering, and pruning to keep one strong branch growing up a guide wire and things are working great. Will be a couple of years yet before my first harvest, but love the feeling of growing my own.
