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.
One reason for the popularity of muscadine grapes is that they are a sustainable fruit crop in the southeastern United States. They are tolerant of insect and disease pests, and homeowners can successfully grow muscadine grapes without spraying any pesticides. The commercial acreage in Florida is small (< 500 acres). The most successful commercial plantings are comprised of large-fruited cultivars that are destined for the fresh market.
