Aspecto

The Grape Family is characterized by woody vines that climb using tendrils, which are modified stems. They have lobed leaves and produce clusters of round or oval berries, ranging in color from green and yellow to red, purple, and black. Their distinct climbing habit and fruit clusters make them visually different from most other plants.
