Any FL or AL growers on here?

[efBobby]

I'm looking for a wild grape that only grows in these 2 states although the usda maps are old and it may have expanded some.

It's called the caloose grape or calusa grape aka vitis shuttleworthii.

I'm attaching a couple pics but easiest way to tell is the bright white backs to the leaves.

If you happen to spot any, send me a message or let me know on here.

Thx.

I guess not. There is one grap[e that will grow in Florida other than the Muscadine and I understand it makes a good wine - but I cannot recall what it is at this time.

I do see that the caloose is grown in south and central florida.

I did find a nursery that sells it but just waiting to hear back from them to see if they will ship?

Most likely a no but worth a try.
