VINE LIKE PLANTS  (SEEDLINGS) 
 

AGE: Following each plant name are two numbers in parentheses. These numbers represent the age of that specific plant. EXAMPLE (2-3) means that the plant was a seedling for 2 years and then was transplanted for an additional 3 years for a total age of 5 years. (2+3=5)
 

American Bittersweet - This deciduous twining vine grows well on fences, walls, or along the ground.  Gorgeous golden yellow foliage in autumn.  Berries attract birds.  Prefers full sun to partial shade and tolerates several soil conditions.  (To produce berries, plant at least 5 seedlings within 30’ of each other).

    


Virginia Creeper  (2-0) - This hardy climber reaches 60' at maturity and covers walls, trellises, fences, or the ground.  Helps prevent soil erosion.  Berries are blue and provide excellent food for wildlife and birds.  Brilliant maroon foliage in the fall.
