How Long Does Muscadine Take to Grow Fruit? Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) is a grape that is native to warm, humid climates of the southern U.S. In an ideal climate and with good cultivation practices muscadines can be expected to yield grapes in two to three years.
Muscadine grapes can often be grown successfully without insecticides or fungicides. Japanese beetles are often the most damaging insects. Selecting cultivars with some disease resistance such as 'Carlos,' 'Nesbitt,' 'Noble,' 'Triumph' or 'Regale' will reduce the losses without fungicide applications.
