vitaceae
The Grape Family includes many delicious fruits that grow in bunches on vines! These plants are fun to explore, especially during the warm summer months when they are full of juicy grapes.
Habitat: Grapes grow in sunny gardens and vineyards.
Appearance
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.
