Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with moist, well-draining soil and install a sturdy trellis or support structure before planting. Dig a hole three times wider than the root ball and slightly shallower, then loosen the surrounding soil to encourage root penetration. Position the vine so the root flare sits about one inch above the soil surface, backfill gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. During the first year, provide about one inch of water weekly through deep watering at the base. Once established, your Carlos Muscadine requires minimal maintenance—apply balanced fertilizer in spring and watch for any leaf drop, which signals overwatering.
