    Is this catbird grape ( vitis palmata)? I live in Southeast MI

    Answer

    Dear GAM3, good morning. Unfortunately, I can't tell you with certainty from the image supplied. I would need to see the undersurface of the leaf to confirm that it is not supplied with a dense layer of hairs and I need to see the branchlets of the season to observe their color (purple-red in Vitis palmata). Perhaps you will be able to confirm these features for yourself. Good luck.
