If you plan to train your muscadine to a trellis, Google-read up on "Kniflen", there are excellent sites on the web with good photo's.
Muscadine' greatest difference is its preference for heat humidity and few chilling hours. Full sun.
It will happily kill a tree to build its own trellis. Full sun.
Grape likes some supplemental water when it is very dry. Arid conditions might not kill the grape. but it will reduce crop size.
When I had grapes, I just mulched liberally. Like trees, I think grapes get their nutrition from mushroom families. High nitrogen feeds make more leaves, not more fruit...

They grow wild along the rivers and bayous here, so I would think they like a lot of water.

Thanks y'all as you can see from these few pics they are trellised, I'm just wanting to put some spark to them as nothing has been done to them as far as fertilizing goes!

You have both muscadines and bunch grapes. The varieties will probably be run of the mill. A large plant can use 10 to 20 pounds of 13-13-13 fertilizer per year. They also need a lot of lime if you use the chemical fertilizer. My vines are 3 years old this year and should produce a small crop of grapes. There is a ton of information at www.isons.com/If you are interested in getting some plants, please send me a message first. I can tell you which are adapted to the local climate. DarJones
