Pollination Info

Pollination Information for Grape Muscadine 'Carlos' (Vitis rotundifolia Carlos)

Muscadine grapes, including the 'Carlos' variety, are self-fertile but generally benefit from cross-pollination to produce a better crop. Cross-pollination occurs when pollen from one muscadine grape variety is transferred to the female flower of another variety. This can be done by planting multiple muscadine grape varieties nearby or by using a soft brush to transfer pollen between flowers.

'Carlos' muscadine grapes have perfect flowers, meaning they contain both male and female reproductive organs. This makes them capable of self-pollination, but having other muscadine grape varieties nearby can increase fruit size and yield. Planting different varieties that bloom at the same time can help ensure successful cross-pollination.

Bees and other pollinating insects can also help with the pollination of muscadine grapes. Providing a habitat for these beneficial insects, such as planting flowering plants nearby, can improve pollination rates and ultimately lead to a better harvest.

Overall, while 'Carlos' muscadine grapes are self-fertile, planting other muscadine grape varieties nearby or encouraging pollinators to visit your garden can help improve fruit production and quality.
