Plant Summary

Northern bushman’s grape, Rhoicissus tridentata, is a fast-growing, hardy, and drought-tolerant climber that produces edible, grape-like fruits and has trifoliate leaves. It attracts birds, mammals, and insects with its flowers and fruits, and is also a food source for caterpillars and game animals. The tuberous roots have medicinal properties and are used for various ailments, such as infertility, stomach problems, and menstrual pain. They are also depicted in San rock paintings.
