Grape Vines

Grape vines, or Vitis spp., are fruiting vines with many desirable attributes. Fragrant blooms appear in spring, attracting pollinators and developing into fruit. The fruit can be eaten fresh or used to make juice, wine, raisins, and jellies. Birds enjoy the fruits as well (add netting to keep the fruit safe). The plants are easy to grow and aren't bothered by cold, heat, intense sunlight, or humidity. Grape vines are a good value as the plants have a long lifespan and produce loads of fruit with minimal maintenance besides pruning and mulching. Most grape varieties are self-pollinating and do not need a pollinator to produce fruit.
