So today I was out walking a part of our land that I haven't been able to get out to for quite a while due to health reasons, and I came across little surprise... actually a few of them.

One, is that while I knew of a couple of places on the edge of our land where some muscadines were growing, I discovered that there are actually a BUNCH or small vines beginning to grow throughout the wooded portion of the property.   Pretty cool since I was already planning to try to propagate more of them.

But another surprise was what appeared to be a second type of grape vine popping up in a few places. I've heard people talk about some kind of wild grapes around here, but I have never seen them on our land (having grown up on this property).

Am I correct in thinking this looks like some type of wild grape vine?

Is there any other type of plant it could potentially be? (No use taking special care of it or potentially transplanting one/more to a more convenient location if it isn't what I want...)


If it helps, I'm in southeast Oklahoma.

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation of that.

You can see from the sparkly star boots and tie dye pants that I was pointing it out to my daughters, but even though I grew up here I'm pretty new to identifying more than just some of the really basic stuff and I wasn't entirely confident.


And my visit to The Google Machine told me that all grape varieties are edible, but some wild grapes may be fairly tart?

I wonder how hard it would be to figure out what variety this is... 🤔
