| When I was young Grand Mother had a concord grape vine, that ran from the ground to way up in a Sycamore tree. It had large grapes and loads of them. The tree was 100 ft from the forest. Never saw a bad grape. Grand ma said the tree was a natural antiseptic or anti bug tree. We didn't have Japanese Beetles, then, though. I've got a quantity of concord seeds from good grapes. I would like to plant them to grow wild in the woods, around the spring and hills. There, are to be sure, some Sycamore trees but none of them have large clear areas around them. Will they survive and thrive? I also want to plant some Muscadines and Scuperdongs wild also. Some sites say they damage trees. How will planting them affect the trees and will any of them bear good fruit? |

| There have been grapes growing to 50 feet up a conifer at a commercial bank property near here for years. Those grapes are fine, but few of them get harvested, too hard to get at. I've seen the same thing in unpaved alleyways in the neighborhood. The tree trellis method around here seems to waste a lot of grapes. |

| I have grapes growing wild on my property. They will grow up and completely cover a tree. I usually just back my truck up and fill the back of my truck up with grapes and then leave the rest for the wildlife. I can't put a dent in the supply of grapes. All I do to pick them is get limb clippers and cut the vines back. |
