Latin Name:  Vitis amurensis
Common Name:  Amur river grape
Family:  Vitaceae
Author:  Rupr.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  15   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Rich damp woodland soils[200].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a deep rich moist well-drained moderately fertile loam[1, 200]. Grows best in a calcareous soil[200]. Succeeds in sun or partial shade though a warm sunny position is required for the fruit to ripen[200]. Very hardy, tolerating temperatures down to about -40°c, this species is a potential source of hardyness in a breeding programme with the common grape, Vitis vinifera[183]. Plants climb by means of tendrils[182]. Any pruning should be carried out in winter when the plants are dormant otherwise they bleed profusely[182]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
