(Updated: Nov. 26, 2024, 5:23 a.m.)

There are basically two kinds of grapes grown in North Carolina, bunch grapes and muscadine. Bunch grapes produce berries in large clusters, and grow best in the mountains and piedmont areas. Muscadines grow individual fruits and do better in the piedmont.

Your success with bunch grapes will depend upon the attention you give to all phases of production — including variety selection, soil management, fertilization, training, pruning, and pest control. Learn everything you can about grape production PRIOR to planting.

NC State Extension has provided you with these grape growing pamphlets and videos:
