Vitis coignetiae

One of about 30 Asian species or wild vines with the full botanical name Vitis coignetiae Pulliat ex Planch. The name honors the two French scientists Victor Pulliat Victor (1827-1896) and Jules Émile Planchon Jules Émile (1823-1888), who made significant contributions to its research. The species was first described by Planchon in 1883. Due to its attractive scarlet to carmine red leaves in autumn, it is also referred to as Rust Red Vine or Crimson gloryvine and is often used as a ornamental vines.

Occurrence

The frost vine is primarily found in the eastern part of Russia, as well as in Japan and Korea. It thrives in cool, moist forests on sandy-loamy soils and climbs up to 25 meters high into the treetops. The grapes with small, blue-black berries are rather inedible. However, wine is also produced from it in Asian countries, particularly in Japan from the selected variety Yama Budou. During the phylloxera disaster in the 19th century, this wine was exported from Japan to Europe. Two other Asian species are Vitis amurensis and Vitis ficifolia.
