Wild Fox Grape
The Wild Fox Grape, Vitis labrusca, is a woody vine which can climb over thirty feet tall. They can be used in pies and pastries too. These fruits develop considerable sweetness after the first frost. They have large, three-lobed leaves with teeth on the edges. Wild Grape can be found on streambanks, pond edges, roadsides, and in open woods. Wild Fox Grapes can be used to make juice, jellies, jams, conserves, and preserves. The fruit is extremely important to wildlife as well as being a most important grape in the development of North American viticulture. Wild Fox Grapes bear purplish-black berries and are the source of many cultivated grape varieties. It is also called skunk grape. ... more information
Ivy - Riterkreuz The Riterkreuz Ivy, Hedera Helix, is a fairly vigorous Ivy with a trailing, self-branching habit. The small, glossy, dark green leaves have five-to-seven pointed lobes, often with little side branches that resemble a Maltese cross. The wide range of varieties now available give colour and form all the year round. Hederas are one of the most useful group of plants for the garden that we have. |
