paulk plus muscadine not set fruit issue
« on: July 01, 2023, 07:05:54 PM »
Hi All,

Does anyone grow paulk plus muscadine?  I brought the vine from ison's nursery couple years ago.  It flowered a year after I planted it in the ground, but none of the flowers set grapes, all the them were dropped.

This year looks like same thing happens again, the flowers are blooming now, but no grapes are set.  All of the dropped..

I checked ison's nursery website, paulk is a Self-Fertile.

Does anyone know what might cause the issue it is not set berry?

Thanks,
Al

Can anyone ID the flower is female, male, or perfect?
I am thinking could be the nursery sent me the wrong one.

Thanks,
Al

Cant offer much advice on fruit set for muscadine, id message the grape master "1rainman"

But all the flowers on that vine appeared female to me. Hopefully some of the 'perfect' flowers develop. good luck.

Thanks FloridaManDan for the info.  I have 2 self-fertile varieties are flowering right and set some grapes.  Finger crossed, hope the perfect flowers can help pollinated some of the female flowers.

I thought all grapes were self fertile. I have several vines so I never considered that having a different variety would help. I learn something new on thei forum every day.
