Vitis californica

Vitis californica, with common names California wild grape, Northern California grape, and Pacific grape,[1] is a wild grape species widespread across much of California as well as southwestern Oregon.[2][3][4]

The California wild grape grows in canyons, alongside springs, streams. It tends to thrive in damp conditions and so it is common in riparian areas.[5] It can be found on slopes as well as flat ground in wetland and forested habitats. Once matured[5] like most other native California plants it can withstand periods of dry conditions.[6]
