Vines in full sun produce blue berries on red stalks that are readily consumed by birds. Fall leaf color is frequently a stunning red! Prefers part shade and moist or medium soils, but is readily adaptable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese are robust and sizable vines, do not allow them to grow up walls or into gutters!\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be grown as a creeping ground cover and used for erosion control, or allowed to climb up fences, trellises, or tree trunks. Unlike many other native vines, it will cling to and grow up flat surfaces! Allowing vines to grow up the trunks of mature trees is an easy way to increase local diversity, and harsh pruning, including cutting vines back to the ground, can be used to keep well established vines from over growing host trees. Vines may have male flowers, female flowers, or both, but are common enough that single plantings often cross pollinate with wild plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePollination: Male and female sometimes needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight: Full Sun, Part Sun\/Shade, Shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil Moisture: Wet Mesic, Mesic, Dry Mesic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil Type: Adaptable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight: 60’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth: -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBloom Color: Yellow\/Green\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBloom Time: May-Aug\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruit: Female flowers produce blue berries mature in fall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFall Color: Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoot Type: Woody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNotable Wildlife Interactions: Flowers attract a small number of bees.
