Muscadines or Scuppernogs Cuttings

Posted by dynamite1959 Tennessee (My Page) on

I am finding sources for plants from wholesalers but find they are hybrid. Does anyone have a source for cuttings or plants that are true wild? I prefer to have the "scuppernogs" which are golden or bronze not the dark ones.

RE: Muscadines or Scuppernogs Cuttings

Muscadines reproduce poorly from cuttings. They are layred commercially. (This possibly has changed recently with specialized treatments beyond what most nurseries would undertake.)

Isons (Georgia) and indeed a number of nurseries will have Scuppernong, presumed to be derived from the original vine in NC.

Most of the named selections in the trade 70 years ago would have been collected from the wild. Some are probably still available. It would take a little research to find the selection names from back then (an agricultural bulletin might be easiest) and compare to Ison's long list of selections available.
