  • Question

    this vine is growing along the Lamprey River in the woods. I tried to ID it using Go Botany, but I am still not sure what it is. I want to make sure it is not an invasive vine. Please tell me what plant this is?

    Answer

    Dear BOwers19+, good morning. The liana in the images you submitted is Vitis lubrusca (fox grape), a native member of the grape family. It has the largest and sweetest fruits of any of our native grapes. Enjoy.
