Mr. Radcllffe also has crepe myrtle bushes and a Scuppernong grape vine growing at his place. He said the Scuppernong grape was named for the "Escapcrnon” Tribe of Indians. While the leaves of this grape resemble ordinary grape leaves to a certain extent, there is a vast difference between th appearance of the two. According to Mr. Radcllff, he has seen the trunks of Scuppernong grape vines in the south as large as the trunk of a large apple tree. This grape cannot be pruned like can be done with ordinary grape tines because it "bleeds" excessively
