description_en: Genus of about 65 species of woody, deciduous tendril climbers, occasionally shrubs, occurring in woodland, woodland margins, and thickets in N. temperate regions. They have flaking bark and alternate, simple to lobed, sometimes toothed leaves. Tiny green flowers are produced in panicles from the leaf axils in summer, and are followed by fruits (grapes), which in some species are edible or are used to make wine. The ornamental vines are cultivated for their foliage and fruits; grow over a trellis, pergola, or fence, or through a large shrub or tree, or train against a wall.

hardiness_en: Fully hardy.
