Taxonomic Notes

Synonyms: V. rufotomentosa Small

Varieties: V. aestivalis Michaux var. aestivalis, V. aestivalis Michaux var. bicolor Deam

Description

V. aestivalis is a perennial vine in the Vitaceae family native to North America and Canada. [2]

Distribution

V. aestivalis is found in the eastern half of the United States and California, as well as the Ontario region of Canada. [2]

Ecology

Habitat

V. aestivalis proliferates in forests and woodlands, mostly upland. [1]

Associated Species- V. aestivalis has been found with plants of the following genera: Ulmus, Betula, Quercus, and Carpinus [3].

Vitis aestivalis is an indicator species for the North Florida Longleaf Woodlands community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]

Phenology

V. aestivalis has been observed to flower in April and May. [5]

Seed dispersal

This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates. [6]

Fire ecology

V. aestivalis is not fire resistant and has low fire tolerance[2]; despite this, populations have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[7][8]

Herbivory and toxicology

V. aestivalis has high palatability for browsing animals and humans, but low palatability for grazing animals. [2] This species has been observed to host aphids such as Aphis sp. (family Aphididae).[9]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

V. aestivalis is listed as endangered by the Maine Department of Conservation Natural Areas Program, as a prohibited noxious weed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture Plant Industry Division, and as a weedy or invasive species by the state agriculture or natural resource departments of 46 states. [2]

Cultural use

Vitis aestivalis produces an edible drupe that can be eaten raw or made into goods such as jelly or wine.[10]
