GROWING MUSCADINES

Our Muscadine Grapes in the Small Fruit Area of the Arboretum are starting to ripen.  These grapes grow well in our area.  Picking time is late summer.  Planting time is early spring.  Perhaps you want to prepare a spot in your garden so you can pick your own.  Click here for more about:  MUSCADINES IN THE HOME GARDEN
