Weed ID please

Does anybody know what this is? It’s in the woods next to my mom’s house.

Some sort of wild grape - Vitis sp. - maybe a muscadine grape

Thank you! I was thinking muscadine. There was a vine on the other side of the house a very long time ago that used to produce but it died off years ago. I asked mom if she knew whether they were muscadines or not. She said they’ve never produced anything though so she didn’t know.

I agree.
Looks like the muscadine vines we had around our place when living in Texas. They get to be a huge vine that has large grapes. The skins of the grape are thick and sour but inside is very sweet. Makes a wonderful jelly. Leaves should be a nice tort food.

Yes. I love muscadines. My mother in law grows them and makes stuff out of them. She gives them to us already bagged though, so I hadn’t seen a vine in awhile. Good to know I can collect these when I’m at my moms getting other weeds. Thanks!
