Vitis rupestris
Encyclopedia : V : VI : VIT : Vitis rupestris
Vitis rupestris is a kind of grape native to the Southern and Western United States. It is better known by many of its common names: July, sand, sugar, beach, bush, currant, ingar, rock and mountain grape. It is used for breeding several French-American hybrids as well as many root stocks. Rupestris St. George has been widely used in breeding and as a root stock and is perhaps the best known.
Vitis rupestris is often found in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. It is a self-supporting bushy plant that does not grow in the shade, and was once found in well-drained prairie draws that collect water. Grazing has forced it into less grazed creek beds.
