Gardener Extras

Muscadine vines are either female or self-fertile. Generally, female varieties produce larger and sweeter fruit. Self-fertile varieties produce higher fruit yields.
For white muscadines, David recommends 'Carlos' and 'Magnolia'.
'Cowart' is self-fertile. Froduces purple berries. It does well in Middle TN.
