    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the very best vines for clinging to stonework, this popular and beautiful vine has handsome, lustrous, 3-lobed leaves which turn brilliant scarlet-red in fall. Greenish-white inconspicuous flowers in summer ripen into showy dark blue-black fruits which persist after the leaves drop. This is the vine of those hallowed ivy-covered walls. Rapid growth to 30-50', give it some space! S/M

    Leaves are 3-lobed, shiny green in summer and wine-red and orange in autumn. A vigorous vine of Japanese origin, despite its Yankee common name.
