Overview

Vitis vinifera, the European Grapevine, is a deciduous vine cultivated for its fruit in zones 7-10. It thrives in well-drained soil with full sun, requiring a minimum of 6-8 feet of space to flourish. This vine can extend up to 50 feet and is trellised for optimal fruit production. Its broad leaves enhance privacy, and in fall, they turn vibrant hues. Yield varies by cultivar, with proper pruning essential for health and harvest.
