Description

A very vigorous vine with high fruit yields and excellent cold hardiness and resistance to diseases, the Carlos Muscadine is the standard for making white muscadine wine. Also used to make muscadine jelly. The vine is self-fertile and the medium size bronze fruit has 16% sugar and 82% dry scar, which represents the percent of fruits that split when being pulled from the vine.

NOTE: As with all of our other plants and trees, all of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Growing Preferences

Muscadine vines can grow in a wide range of soils. Highly fertile soils are not essential. Well-drained soils produce the best growth and yields. Avoid soils that are persistently wet during the growing season. The best and most muscadine berries will be produced when vines are growing in full to mostly sun. That said, muscadine vines that receive a little shade will still produce good crops.

You always send me excellent plants…..over the years I’ve had very few disappointments; Spencer immediately jumped right on the problem and his actions made me very happy……so, “that’s” what keeps me coming back year after year. I also highly recommend you to all my gardening friends.

Service and delivery outstanding, arrived in great condition with another in the same box, planted next day and it caught on to its ideal soil/light conditions immediately, and is at least 5% or more larger after a few weeks with a couple of developing fruit clusters – very satisfied at present.——————————————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Several months ago I was searching for a particular plant which brought me to Wilson Bros. I am not tech savvy but the website was excellent. Extremely easy, fast, answered all of my questions, and has a wonderful system. If the product is sold out, they email you to let you know that they now have it in stock. Delivery is fast, always packed carefully. I have never had a plant that was not perfect when I opened the box. I literally have spent thousands of dollars with Wilson bros and I will continue to do so. I have only called the company once, and they answered my question, were extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk with. Pricing was great, no more Home Depot or Lowe’s. I have 25 acres in Odessa Florida with a gazillion Wilson Bros plants and this is the only company that I will purchase plants from.——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I received my Scuppernong very quickly. It was packaged very well and was a healthy plant. It was already showing signs of producing fruit. I was able to plant it immediately and it never even wilted. Great company that obviously cares about their plants. I would not hesitate to recommend Wilson Bros. for your plant needs.—————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Got to say that I have ordered many saplings, bushes and plants from companies all over the US but the exceptional Care, Packaging and quality of plant that this company achieved is stunning. Bought Muscadines and Blueberries (containers) everyone perfect.
