Flower, Seeds and Seedlings
Vitis arizonica has small, greenish-white flowers with five petals and a yellow center. The seeds are small, black and round. The seedlings have a single pair of leaves with a pointed tip.
Cultivation and Propagation
Vitis arizonica is a vigorous, deciduous vine native to the Mediterranean region. It can be propagated from stem cuttings or by layering. Stem cuttings should be taken from mature stems and placed in a moist, well-draining soil. Layering involves burying a portion of a stem in the soil and allowing it to root before cutting it from the parent plant. Once rooted, the stem can be potted up and grown as a new plant.
