Question
Hi - I sighted these grape-like fruits on a grape-like vine intertwined with Fox Grapes by the entrance to Ellisville Harbor State Park in Plymouth/Manomet, MA. They were growing on a fence and over some trees. The fruits ranged from white to blue to purple (ripest). I'd like to know what these are, and if they are edible. Thanks!
Answer
Dear larizzo, those fruits look like Ampelopsis glandulosa (Amur peppervine), a member of the Vitaceae (grape family). This species is native to Asia and invasive in parts of North America. Thank you for sharing the images.
