I have had this vine for years, and I LOVE the fruit! It has many seeds, but my husband strains the fruit to make jelly, and it tastes super good! A "grapey' tasting as it gets!

No fruit yet, because my plant is too small. It's been growing steadily, and has very attractive foliage, though.

Wonderful rich purple leaves on a compact ornamental grape vine becoming dark purple in autumn. Excellent for espalier and trellis. Small fruits in early fall. Some folks actually like the fruits, I've read.

The botanical name is ironic, considering the plant's fruit is described as "tasteless" and "inedible". But this slow-growing vine has beautiful foliage which makes it worth growing for purely ornamental value.
