The first question is, is it a muscadine?  Muscadines have small leaves and smooth bark compared to other grapes.  No real lobes on the leaves, just a serrated edge.   
    If it's a muscadine, here's the question I want to know for myself.  Can I graft a good tame variety to wild male vines?  We are near the northern border of muscadine territory, so I have been good to the wild plants in hope some will fruit for me.  Some bloomed last year and never made one grape. I never got around to taking a close look to sex the blossoms.  There are plants off in the woods that drop fruit, so I know the female vines are worth having.  Donna
