● Scuppernong grapevines prefer to be grown in full sun in well-drained soils and should be planted roughly six feet apart on a trellis. Once your scuppernong vine has gone dormant for the winter you should prune the grapevine up to a third to encourage heavy fruit production the next season. The scuppernong grapes will ripen in the late summer and the fruiting period could last up to six weeks, giving you ample time to get some frozen, juiced, or turned into jelly, or to consume them as fresh, healthy, organic snacks. Growing your own grapes is easily done and is the solution for a Preppers food needs, as the vines will continue to produce useful grapes that every year replenish your food stocks. Your survival garden would not be complete without a couple of scuppernong grapevines.
- Carlos (male) scuppernong grapevines are a very heavy-producing grapevine, which makes this variety perfect for juicing and jelly production. The bronze grape is a medium-sized scuppernong, but the quality and amount of fresh grapes produced is unmatched. The fruit ripens uniformly, which makes the harvest simpler as it could be done by machines. This is by far the most popular scuppernong grape; approximately 90% of North Carolina's entire scuppernong production is of Carlos.
- One of the most popular scuppernongs for eating fresh, and which are grown in U-pick operations, is the Fry (female) scuppernong. These delicious scuppernongs ripen August through September, and fruits from the Fry scuppernong are large, sweet, and bronze in color. This variety is bred for the South and is a great drought tolerant, low-maintenance food source for Preppers to plant in their survival garden.
