Removing Mustang Grape Vines

Mustang grape vines grow in warm climates, such as Texas and Louisiana. They thrive in USDA Hardiness Zone 7. With white flowers and dark berries, they are an attractive addition to a garden but they grow up to 40 feet and take up a lot of space. If you want to landscape your yard, you might need to remove the Mustang grapes to allow more sunshine below the plant and give yourself more room to work.
