Basics
There are about 60 species of grapes (Vitis) native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Of twelve species native to eastern North America, seven occur in the NCRN. Grapes are vines that climb using tendrils that grasp onto branches and other supporting objects. Many species can grow more than 100 feet in height and live to be more than 100 years old. In fact the oldest grapevine in the world is thought to be around 400 years old.
