Ever wonder about the difference between a grape vine and a virgina creeper?

Before you taste test those dark blue berries, be sure you know the difference because while grapes are edible, virginia creeper berries are not.

Here are some photos to help you distinguish between the two.

If you have grapes, Fruit Share would love to come and harvest them.  If you have Virginia Creepers, leave them for the birds.
