Dan Allen wrote:Steve, you must be in a pretty good zone to be able to grow both muscadine and table grapes.
I have been trying to grow grapes for years. I've planted reliance, red canadice, Niagara and Concord. The only one I've had production from is the Concord, which was supposed to be seedless but has small hard seeds. The fruit is excellent though, so I don't mind the seeds. I've planted every seed I got. I've also been selecting seeds from wild grapes that have larger than usual fruits and good flavor.

Steve Thorn wrote:I found these wild black muscadine grapes hanging down from a tree near my food forest. The vine has to be about 30 feet long, as the branch connects to the trunk about 15 feet off the ground and the branch that drapes down is about 15 feet long.
It's hard to beat just picking fresh fruit, with no other work involved.
This vine has a very good strong flavor and made for a tasty snack during my walk through the food forest.

New location. Zone 6b, acid soil, 30+ inches of water per year.

Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!

So I took them out and used the area for Hardy Kiwi.
I am now buying the lot next door and will have to take out a forest of twigs and small pines. It was a forest before getting cleared for a house that was never built so the soil should be good.
I get as much wood chips as I can handle so will work on the soil for a couple of years before making this 0.6 acres into a small food forest.
