Where do you live? I know muscadines and scuppernongs do great down South. They have thicker skins so the bugs and critters don’t mess with them as much (A family friend has some and they are doing great.) The thinner skinned grapes that you often get at the grocery store may or may not do well, depending on where you live. Being more delicate and all, the bugs and critters really like to just eat them up. At least that’s what they did to ours. I want to plant muscadines and scuppernongs this year. I think they may do better for the area where I live (VA).

Well, I was thinking of that and I don’t want bugs. Other crawling vine type foliage would be OK but flowers would draw bees too.

The grape vines just look way better than anything else.

We’re in Florida and have a grape arbor. Muscadines and scuppernongs are about all that’ll grow down here. We’ve found not a lot of folks like them, I think they’re an “acquired” taste. Fortunately, we have that acquired taste :)

In Atlanta here. Just surfing FR and came across this - is it too late to start an arbor in Atlanta? Somehow, this just hit my WANT list immediately.
