A vine is a plant with a growth habit of trailing or scandent (that is, climbing) stems, lianas, or runners
. Vines can be found in various forms, such as:
- Grapevines : These are plants with a growth habit of trailing or scandent stems, commonly used for producing wine
- Climbers : These plants grow as vines only part of the time, such as poison ivy and bittersweet, which can grow as low shrubs when support is not available but become vines when support is available
- Other vining plants : Examples include ivy, Boston ivy, bougainvillea, clematis, and English ivy
Vines can climb or grow along the ground, and they often use tendrils or twining stems to support their growth
. They can be found in various environments, including forests, fields, and even in architectural settings, such as vineyards or trellises
