| Muscadines and More | ||
| Since our grandfather planted the first muscadine vine in 1934, the Ison family has enjoyed a long relationship with the muscadine grape. What started out as a modest 3 acre vineyard has evolved into more than 40 acres of vineyard and a nursery offering over 200 varieties of fruit, nut and berry plants. In the late 1960's, our dad Bill Ison and Dr. B.O. Fry began breeding muscadines in order to improve size, taste and production. From the fruits of their labor we now have 22 patented varieties of muscadine! These varieties, including Supreme, Summit, Ison, Fry Seedless and Sweet Jenny, are considered the best for commercial vineyards, u-pick operations, and the backyard hobbyist. Muscadine vines are sold as either self-fertile (female flowers that also produce pollen, so a single vine can bear fruit on its own) or female (which need a self-fertile variety planted nearby for pollination). The nursery's growers and staff can help home gardeners choose the right combination of varieties for their yard, along with fig, blueberry, blackberry and pecan plants. Full descriptions, ripening windows and hardiness zones for every variety are listed on the nursery's website. |
