Succeeds in sun or partial shade though a warm sunny position is required for the fruit to ripen[200]. 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, 200]. Closely related to V. mustangensis[11]. Is this species no more than a synonym for V. acerifolia?[200]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
