Don’t Transplant Wild Muscadines—Buy Named Varieties

Wild muscadines (bird-planted, unknown parentage) produce erratically. Instead, plant named cultivars like ‘Triumph’, ‘Cowart’, or ‘Carlos’ for reliable, high-quality crops.

Nursery vines are selected for productivity, flavor, and disease resistance—wild vines offer none of these guarantees.
