Frost grape

Frost grape (Vitis vulpina) is a vine native to the lower 48 states of the United States and found in the state of Maryland; it may or may not be native to Maryland.USDA Plants Database, 
== Identification ==
Its foliage is typically green and has conspicuous fall interest. Black fruit, which may be edible (but consult a reliable source before eating), is produced to a moderate extent from summer to fall.
It grows at moderate speed from two or more stems to a height of about 83 feet with roots at least 16 inches deep, and has a lifespan over 250 years. It will readily resprout even if cut down to the ground.
== Cultivation ==
The USDA believes this plant to be available only to contractors. It is propagated by the following methods: bare root, container, cuttings, seed. Seeds will be more successful if cold stratification is used. Typically, this plant will seed itself at a slow rate, and new seedlings will have a low chance of success compared to other plants of this type.
Soil preferences: coarse/medium soil, pH 6-7.5, medium fertilizer. Provide medium moisture. This plant has no salinity tolerance and low drought tolerance. It tolerates partial shade.
== Uses and Relationships ==
At least some parts of the plant may be edible to humans. (Confirm against a reliable resource before attempting to eat any unknown plant.) If you're seeking to provide forage to wildlife, this plant is of medium value.
