Uva zorra
Vitis labrusca
Vid nativa del este de América del Norte, progenitora genética del cultivar Concord y de la mayoría de las uvas de mesa americanas de hollejo desprendible. Vid trepadora o rastrera vigorosa con hojas trilobadas y racimos de uvas de color púrpura oscuro a negro con el característico sabor «foxiness» o zorruño. Muy resistente al frío y a enfermedades en comparación con la vid europea (Vitis vinifera). Importante recurso frutal para la fauna silvestre: pájaros cantores, ciervos y otros mamíferos consumen los frutos y el follaje.

Cold hardiness
Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.

Mediterranean drought-tolerant edible
A low-water edible palette of culinary herbs + a hardy grape for hot dry sunny sites. Mediterranean-origin plants thrive on neglect; their primary failure mode is overwatering, not underwatering.
