Vitis labrusca
Encyclopedia : V : VI : VIT : Vitis labrusca
Vitis labrusca (Fox grape) is a species of grape native to the northeastern United States. It is the source of many grape cultivars, including Concord grapes. It is characteristic of this vine to have tendrils form on every node of the cane (alternated with clusters). This is in contrast to the European wine grape Vitis vinifera. The characteristic "foxy" musk of V. labrusca is inherited by the Concord grape.

Warning
Fox grapes greatly resemble Canadian Moonseed (Menispermum canadense). The berries of Canada moonseed contain poisons, which, if eaten in substantial quantities, are fatal. Before indulging in any wild grape it is advisable to first make sure it is not Menispermum canadense.See also
