Appearance
The Grape is a climbing vine with large, lobed green leaves that often turn yellow or red in autumn. Its small, greenish-white flowers grow in clusters, giving way to bunches of round or oval fruits. These grapes can be green, red, purple, or black, often covered in a dusty white coating called 'bloom'.
