Vitis mustangensis, also known as the Mustang Grape, can be found predominantly in central to east Texas. It grows fruit in small clusters of hard green berries, that when ripe become soft 3/4 inch dark purple berries in August-September. The fruit can be potentially irritating to the skin when picked or eaten, and are mildly unpleasant to eat because of its bitterness and high acidity content. They have a thick outer layer of flesh and on average contain four seeds. This variety of grape is recognized by the white velvet-like underside of the leaves, and often covers small trees, shrubs, fences and other objects that it grows near.
