A lesson learned: Back in time to the winter of 2011. Me and a friend of mine found a cluster of wild muscadines on his farm. We picked two 5 gallon buckets of muscadines, besides the one we ate as we picked. I had just started my vineyard and had been reading everything I could find on muscadines. I had just watched a video on pruning vines that been neglected for years and it showed how to prune them, it also warned that the vine may not produce much, if any fruit the next year. We pulled the vines out of the trees and draped them across saplings, reduced their length from 40 to 50 feet down to about 10 feet, we had them looking good. Well, the video was right, this it the second complete season for them and not a sign of a muscadine on them.
