It should be pointed out that the 5th or right-hand-most visual is not a Vitis or fox grape at all, but another member of the grape family, the Virginia creeper, Parthenocissus quinquefolia.
Moreover, I question whether the 4th visual is even in the grape family - the remains of the calyx and protruding stigma at the distal end of some of the fruits are not grape-like. This might be Aronia (chokeberry) or something else.
