Tendrils occur opposite leaves at nodes, and automatically begin to coil when they contact another object.
Plant All Vitis are "lianas" or woody, climbing vines. Several thousand acres are cultivated in the southeastern states, mostly Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. This species has been enjoyed by southerners since antebellum times, and has received little attention outside of the southeast. Vitis rotundifolia is native from Virginia south through central Florida, and west to eastern Texas. Today, most Concord grapes are grown in New York and surrounding states. Vitis labrusca is found growing wild from Maine to the South Carolina Piedmont, west to Tennessee. Today, US wine production is dominated by California, although Washington, Oregon, New York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan also have significant commercial wine industries based on Vinifera grapes or French-American hybrids. Spanish missionaries brought Vinifera grapes to California in the 1700s and found that they grew very well there. This was due to poor cold hardiness, insect, and disease resistance of Vinifera types. Grapes came to the new world with early settlement on the east coast, but quickly died out or did poorly. Grapes moved to the far east via traders from Persia and India. The Phoenicians carried wine cultivars to Greece, Rome, and southern France before 600 BC, and Romans spread the grape throughout Europe. Egyptian hieroglyphics detail the culture of grapes and wine making in 2440 BC. Seeds of grapes were found in excavated dwellings of the Bronze-age in south-central Europe (3500-1000 BC), indicating early movement beyond its native range. Vitis vinifera is thought to be native to the area near the Caspian sea, in southwestern Asia, the same region where apple, cherry, pear, and many other fruits are native. They are also categorized by their color: black (dark purple) or bronze. Muscadines are generally more resistant to disease than bunch grapes. There may be a little as 3- 10 grapes per cluster. Unlike northern grapes, fruits are produced in small clusters or singularly on the vine. Muscadine grapes are native to the southern United States where they are grown both commercially and in the home garden. Grape Vine Purple Muscadine Variety in a 3 Gallon Container.
