Comments: This is a native vine that goes mostly unnoticed until the fruit or berries turn a beautiful bright red color in fall. The vine grows over anything in its path, but is relatively easy to manage. Unfortunately it is seldom selected from a listing of vines for use as a featured ornamental vine, even with its many outstanding features. It has no insect and pest problems. The foliage is evergreen.
