Full product details

Key Features:

  • Self-Fertile Muscadine: A perfect-flowered, self-pollinating vine that sets fruit on its own, so one plant is enough for a home harvest.

  • Bronze Fruit Clusters: Large, sweet, richly flavored bronze-skinned grapes ripen in late summer, ideal for fresh eating, juice, and jelly.

  • Built for Humid Climates: Native-bred muscadines thrive in Florida heat and humidity and resist Pierce's disease far better than European grapes.

  • Vigorous Climber: Fast-growing vine covers trellises, arbors, and fences quickly and gives good summer shade.

  • Easy Care: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, train on a sturdy support, and prune in winter for heavier yields.

Key Features

Carlos is a vigorous, self-fertile muscadine with large clusters of sweet, bronze grapes that are great for fresh eating, juice, and wine.

Special considerations

Grapes are toxic to dogs, so keep fruit away from pets. Fruit ripens over several weeks in late summer, and birds will eat it unless protected with netting.

Growing and Care Instructions

Carlos muscadine grows best in full sun with well-drained sandy loam and needs a sturdy trellis or arbor. Prune hard in late winter while dormant, and train a main trunk with cordons for the heaviest fruit production.

  • Fertilizing

    Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after fruit set; avoid excess nitrogen.

  • Watering

    Water regularly while young, then deeply but infrequently once established; avoid soggy soil.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun (8+ hours) for best fruit; tolerates light afternoon shade.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
