Vitis amurensis |
The amur grape (Vitis amurensis), is a species of grape native to the Asian continent. Its name comes from the Amur Valley in Russia and China. It's very resistant to frost, but is not tolerant to drought. By hybridization with the European wine grape (Vitis vinifera), several cultivars resistant to low temperatures are produced, such as "Zarja severa" (Northern dawn) and Rondo.
