In general,
Muscadines are among the last plant types to leaf out in the spring.
They have a low chilling hour requirement in the 200-500-hour
range. However, they have a very high heat accumulation requirement
in the spring before they will break bud and grow. This characteristic
keeps the plants dormant many times until late into the spring.
1. For plants ordered and planted between November 2008 and March
31st 2009 allow time for the plants to leaf out. For most Fruiting
plants this could be into late April.
2. To see if the plant is alive use your fingernail and scratch
the plant near ground level – if the plant is green –
the plant is still alive and should leaf out – continue
the fertilizer program and water them. If the plant is brown –
or if the plants do not leaf out – you have until July 1st
2009 to notify us in writing and we will put you down for replacements
the next shipping season (winter 2009/2010) per our warranty on
page 2 of our catalog. (1/2 price)
