In summer, when the conditions are right, the tips of the vines can grow up to 5 cm per day, allowing the vines to climb high into the canopy. [7] [8] When the vines reach the sunlight at the top of the canopy, they begin to produce green leafy stems (as opposed to the brown woody stems below). [7] [9] The leaves are opposite, ovate and shiny. [8]
A grape cluster with signs of millerandage with small, immature berries scattered throughout the bunch.. Millerandage (or shot berries, hens and chicks and pumpkins and peas) is a potential viticultural hazard in which grape bunches contain berries that differ greatly in size and, most importantly, maturity.
Partridge berry (Mitchella repens) Foliage, inflorescence, and unopened blossom Berries. The ovaries of the twin flowers fuse together, so that there are two flowers for each berry. The two bright red spots on each berry are vestiges of this process. The fruit ripens between July and October, and may persist through the winter.

Marionberries may be called caneberries due to their typical extensive growth on long canes (vines) and brambles. [5] Marionberries are an aggregate fruit formed in a cluster of many juice filled sacks called drupelets. [5] The marionberry plant is a vigorously growing trailing vine, with some canes up to 20 feet (6.1 m) long.
Rubus ursinus is a wide, mounding shrub or vine, growing to 0.61–1.52 metres (2–5 feet) high, and more than 1.8 m (6 ft) wide. [3] The prickly branches can take root if they touch soil, thus enabling the plant to spread vegetatively and form larger clonal colonies. The leaves usually have 3 leaflets but sometimes 5 or only 1, and are deciduous.
The optimum weather during the growing season is a long, warm summer that allows the grapes the opportunity to ripen fully and to develop a balance between the levels of acids and sugars in the grape. [39] Hot and sunny climates have a frost-free growing season of 200 days or more. [40]
