muscadines in well-drained, fertile soil. Requires full sun. pH

and 15' apart and 10' rows for home use. Put on trellis constructed
of 6-1/2' post set 2' in ground. Use no. 9 galvanized wire. Never
use manure of any kind around young plants. Sawdust, cotton seed
mote or peat moss may either slow growth down, damage or kill
the plants. Never put commercial fertilizer in hole around roots.
Wait until April 1 before fertilizing. First two years of growth
clean cultivation is necessary so that growth will be vigorous.

order.)
Pruning
Tips: To ensure healthy crops of fruit year after year, the
vines must be winter pruned. We begin our pruning on February
1st. Cut canes back off main runner to three joints. Only allow
one main runner to go down wire. Only summer prune young vines
to set framework of vines.
