I am a tropical climbing vine producing antioxidant-rich wild grapes.

Native to Cambodia and Southeast Asia; found in forests and cultivated gardens.

Water 2–3 times per week; prefers moist, well-drained soil.

Full sun to partial shade.

Thrives in 25–35°C; sensitive to frost.

Plant near a trellis or fence; spacing 2–3 meters apart.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months; mulch to retain moisture.

Botanical name: Ampelocissus martini; Family: Vitaceae.

Fruits are safe; seeds edible but small.

Moderate; vine canopy reduces dust.

Fruits rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and polyphenols; used in juices, wines, and traditional medicine.

Susceptible to fungal rot and aphids; prune for airflow and monitor regularly.

Can live 15–20 years; starts fruiting in 2–3 years; peak yield from year 6 onward.
