Vitis amurensis

One of the approximately 30 Asiatic vines or wild vines with the full botanical name Vitis amurensis Rupr. It was first described in 1857 by the Austrian botanic Franz Josef Ruprecht (1814-1870), who is also included in the name. Botanical synonyms or old names are Vitis vinifera var. amurensis Regel, because the German botanist Eduard A. Regel (1815-1892) considered it a variety of Vitis vinifera, and Vitis thunbergii.

Vitis amurensis - vine with grapes

Occurrence

The vine is distributed in the temperate regions of China and Russia up to Korea and Japan. The name Amur vine is derived from its origin in the Amur River valley, which forms the Russian-Chinese border for over 2,000 km. It thrives mainly in valleys of water bodies and also in forests, where it climbs up trees.
