Hello,

About two years ago I did a trial planting of a vine here in South-East Madagascar, and it performed quite well.

The issue is that I don’t know exactly which species it is.

Would anyone be able to help identify it if I share some photos?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Looks like a grapevine to me!

Maybe Vitis labrusca, the fox grape, or a hybrid such as Concord grape? Or the common Vitis vinifera? I do not know my different grapes particularly well but have seen a few different kinds.

One can never be too kind to oneself or others.

Yes, not easy to know M Ljin! I thought of a kind of "muscat" grape, but I am amazed by its growth in 2 years, especially in Madagascar!!!
I'll check out the species you mention

Alix,

Have you seen/tasted any grapes yet?
Please provide an image of a leaf, aiming the camera perpendiculary to the leaf. A few such images may help in identification as they will present the average shape.

So I left, I came home, and I ate some pie. And then I read this tiny ad:
