Wild Muscadines, Where to Find Them?
Posted on 8/25/21 at 11:21 am

It's almost harvest time for muscadines I'm told, and I would like to go out picking. I've spent a good amount of time in the swamps around Pierre Part and the Spillway area, but never in my life have I found muscadines. Any ideas where I may have better luck foraging?

I always had luck on fence lines and edges of fields or home properties back in the woods with people you know.

Mine are just starting to ripen, but I have the kind that do not turn purple, so I never really know for sure.

Old home places back in the woods
My dad grew them, he had wires across poles like grapes and would baby them all year.
He made wine and jelly

Overgrown fence rows in any of the Florida parishes iS a good place to check. I’ve seen them along the pipeline that runs through Hutchinsons creek wma and also along the dove fields located on Sandy hollow wma, if you’re looking for public land.

Sherburne off of big Alabama is full of them. I can email you some pins if you want. I've pulled my boat under, shook the tree a bit, then had enough to snack on while scouting. Some of the areas I've found them by boat could be accessed by foot, just not easily.

I've been picking them for two weeks up here in NELA. Some vines are green as can be, and have no ripe fruit, others are nearly done.
Can't tell you where to find them, I notice muscadine vines any time I'm out in the woods, and I circle under them this time of year to see if they are bearing.
The best is when you find down timber where the vines and fruit can be reached from the ground, usually they can't.
Tempted to go back to my old house, where the vines I planted on an arbor are still growing and producing...
