Wild grape experiment

[willowhomestead]

We found what I can only describe as a jungle mass of wild grape vine. It may have been planted from a previous owner but it is in a strange spot so we are unsure. We took some cuttings and are hopeful. We will have to see what kind it is but the vines were so prolific we might use it as rootstock for less cold hardy vines. Wish us luck! Any advice from those who have tried this before is appreciated. We are in Massachusetts.

Lucky you! Last year was my first wild grape harvest...and wine!

I strongly suggest you try to identify the leaves online since there are quite a few copycats. The Canada moonseed, for one, is actually poisonous. I found some of that on the property as well.
