Diane -
Taking everything into account, I'd say that what the image means to convey could be that the plant is one that is cultivated in the manner of grape vines, though it is probably not grapes - there is little botanical basis for that. What Sam's image tells me though, is that "like grapes" might surely be the message.
This would also mean that the crop was cultivated rather than wild, and that perhaps the "berries" were an important part after all - which is not the case in most proposed solutions at the moment.
