The humble grape is one of the toughest and most drought tolerant climbers. Many varieties exist including table grape, wine grape and colourful autumn foliage forms. Specialised pruning is generally required for fruiting varieties. Grape vines prefer dry summers and while cultivars may cope with subtropical regions they are not recommended for the tropics.
