I recommend this nursery as a source of information about muscadines:

I know muscadines grow here, I would think they would make it in Miami, but they may need some chill time. They are best grown on a trellis, either type will work, but they are most often grown on an overhead trellis. They are normally pruned during th dormant season, leave 3 buds per stem.

muscadines grow and fruit throughout florida so you should have no problem getting fruit. Muscadines also have evolved natural resistance to disease which protects them from pierces disease. The first variety you have Southern Home, is a hybrid muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) and a bunch grape (vitis vinifera). To be more exact the hybrid created is a cross of (V. rotundifolia, munsoniana, popenoei, vinifera) it is an interspecific-hybrid and is unique in appearance because of its leaf shape with very deep cut sinuses, resembling, that of a maple leaf. Southern Home's fruit is similar in many respects to muscadines and the sugar content of the fruit is around 17.5%-18.5% which lends well to wine making. I think ultimately you will want to put the pots in the ground. As someone mentioned before Isons.com is a good site for info on muscadines. The problem with bunch grapes vs. muscadines is that they go into decline from pierces disease. Pierces disease is spread by a little bug called a glassy winged sharp shooter native to the southeastern united states. They carry the germ in their gut and inadvertantly inject it into the vascular parts of the vine which ultimately kills them...hence the reason there are no large vinifera type bunch grapes in the southeast. There is some progress being made with pierces disease, some scientists have injected a less virulent form of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa which seems to protect the vines from becoming infected when exposed to the more virulent form. If it all plays out well florida could become the next big wine country. The reason muscadines are not popular for wine is because most varieties don't have the unique flavor profiles or enough sugar content as with v. vinifera. The last variety pictured is a bunch grape variety, it may be lake emerald or Conquistador' ( a type of bunch grape that has some natural resistance to pierces disease).

Muscadine and Scuppernong are the best grapes for the south because they are native. Scuppernong makes a great mate to the muscadine. I recommend the fry scuppernong they are a big bronze grape. both types grow wild in NC. and many of the varieties were developed here as well
