Strawberry vine?
Hi:
I have a vine growing up the front of the house. It has grown from a cutting given me by a neighbour who calls it a strawberry vine. Indeed, the grapes, quite small and green, have a kind-of-strawberry flavour. But I can't find it anywhere in the literature. Does anyone know of it and can supply a more reliable name? An Italian lady told me her mother in Italy had the very same vine growing either side of her drive, but she didn't know what it was called. Thanks for any help or guidance.

Look up the writings of Vita Sackville West. I have 4 tapes of her newspaper articles of the 40s and 50s. It's mentioned there. She just called it the Strawberry Vine! Would you recommend it?
