Wild Grape (Vitis spp. L.)
Location: Home backyard Philadelphia
Identification:
Woody vines that may grow prostrate along the ground or climb over other vegetation and objects. Wild grapes can form large thickets and choke-out much of the existing vegetation. Several species of wild grapes occur throughout the eastern half of the United States, and these are primarily weeds of orchards, vineyards, ornamental nurseries, fence rows, landscapes, and pastures.
Leaves: Several species of Vitis occur with leaves that are generally ovate in outline and taper to a distinct point. Some species has leaves that are divided into 3 to 5 lobes. Leaves are arranged alternately along the stem, have veins that arise from a common point, and have toothed margins.
Stems: Climb over other vegetation or objects by way of tendrils or grow prostrate along the ground. Stems become woody with age and the bark sheds in strips. The tendrils that aide in climbing are forked and arise opposite from the leaves. Stem sections that have been cut can easily generate new plants.
