The Grape Ape would probably eat the Cape Grape. |
A local gardener left me a plant sample that was new to me. It looked kind of like a grape, but it wasn't familiar. I Google'd grape and then
Cissus, and with each added a few leaf shape terms that were descriptive of the sample's leaves, and was lucky enough to get a hit:
Rhoicissus tomentosa (aka
Rhoicissus capensis). A
native of the cape area of South Africa, It's fruits are edible but its
roots are said to be poisonous.
