The best was to start to learn how to grow muscadine grapes is to ask someone that's already growing them. With that in mind, I decided to visit Taylor Gardens Nursery and U-pick and ask the owner, Dave Taylor, about how to grow grapes in the south where grape diseases and pests are common. Here's how to fertilize grapes, how to keep raccoons from eating grapes, how to prune grapes, grape vine spacing, how to set up a grape trellis and what types of grapes to grow. We even get to see a cool cross between a concord grape and a muscadine! Though you can't grow concord grapes in Florida, the hybrid is a tasty way to get that full flavor and still get the disease resistance of muscadine grapes. If you live in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas or any place where it's hot and humid, muscadine grape growing is for you. In today's video, David The Good and Dave Taylor talk grapes - and if you follow Dave's advice, you can too. Maybe you can start your own grape U-pick! And while you wait for the vines to fill in, be sure to visit the Taylor Gardens Nursery grape U-pick in summer and pick some of their delicious grapes in Citra, near Sparr, Florida.
