I'm sure they will. But it might take a while to produce.

I think I bought 3 yr old vines and they produced the following year a little.

But my 3 yr old vines may have been from grafts. You can start vines by grafting. The vines will root if put i dirt.

you might research how they germinate. Im curious if they use scarification for germination. Most of these are spread by birds eating them. So there stomach acid would help to break down the seed coat be for um being unloaded on fertile soil. Love how fascinating they are. Any one make Muscadine wine?  Could be another thing to do with those berries/grapes. :)

Muscadines have a thicker skin than scuppernongs.  I love scuppernongs - they're amber colored and really sweet! They grow wild like crazy or on a trellis.   They are prolific growers and will take over a grape arbor!   The muscadines I've seen around here are usually purple.
