      Awesome! This was one of my favorite findings on my land this past summer. I harvested a small portion of the grapes for storage, and we then made pie with them for Thanksgiving! They are absolutely delicious. Posted 7 years ago

          That's what we are striving for, Ferdy! I love foraging for wild edibles, and we are working on going off-grid and turning our heavily wooded land into a permaculture food forest! Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

      I am very surprised we didn't have any photos of the common grape vine. I found an old photo in my files. It's not the best one but it gives an idea. I'll try to take some better ones this summer. Posted 7 years ago

        Which just shows the value of old photos sitting in archives :) Posted 7 years ago

The Frost grape

''Vitis vulpina'' is a North American species of herbaceous perennial vines in the grape family. It is widespread across most of the eastern and central United States as well as the Canadian Province of Ontario.

The genus name ''Vitis'' comes from the Latin word for "vine" and the species name ''vulpina'' comes from the Latin word for "fox-like" or belonging to a fox. It is believed that foxes were attracted to this type of grapevine and Linnaeus, used the term ''vulpina'' to differentiate.. more
