Description
Cyphostemma natalitium, commonly known as the Natal grape, is a deciduous or semi-deciduous climbing vine native to Southern Africa. It is characterized by its attractive, palmately compound leaves and its edible, grape-like fruits. The fruits are small, round, and red or black when ripe, and the plant produces small, greenish-yellow flowers. This plant is a relatively drought-tolerant species, making it a good option for arid gardens. Cyphostemma natalitium thrives in well-drained soil and full sun.
