    The following vine is growing in my lemon tree in my back yard. I have searched all over but can not find a name. It resembles a wild grape leaf but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Yes, a grape. Vitis spp. I'll see if I can figure out which one.

    Looks like a grape to me too.

    Could it possibly be vitis amurensis (although I know that is a grape native to Asia)??

    Don't know about that one. I believe it is either V. vulpina if glabrous underneath, or V. cinerea if fuzzy.

    After researching both types you listed I do believe it is the vitis vulpina (frost or riverbank grape). I was able to gather information on growing conditions and since I have discovered another smaller plant in my flower bed, I will transplant and see how it goes. We also grow muscadines but if this grape will produce, I will be a truly happy girl!

    Thank you so much for your prompt attention and help. Have a blessed weekend!
