@onlyinthecarolina: On Roanoke Island grows the Mother Vine - a scuppernong believed to be about 400 years old, the oldest cultivated grapevine in North America, possibly rooted in the era of the Lost Colony. It survived hurricanes, development, and a 2010 herbicide accident that nearly killed it in an afternoon. Every August, it still bears fruit. 🍇 #MotherVine #OuterBanks #ManteoNC #NorthCarolina #OnlyInTheCarolinas
