need id help

19 years ago

I'm posting this for my sister who lives in New Brunswick. She recently moved into a new home, and needs help identifying this vine. The stems are curly and the flowers inconspicuous. It is currently planted in an area where it just lays in a heap, so she would like to relocate it or get rid of it if it's nothing desirable. Any ideas, anyone? You've always been so helpful with past requests. Thanks

The vine your sister has is an American Bittersweet. It will have orange berries in the late summer/fall. Info about it can be found at www.oregonstate.edu/dept/idplants. Marg

Thanks Marg,
I passed along your identification to my sister. She thinks that you're correct. Others had suggested kiwi vine, but the flower didn't seem right.
The previous owner had it on an arbor, but removed it when she moved. My sister is an avid bird watcher, so will be happy to have a vine that has berries the birds love.
I couldn't get that link to work, but googled American Bittersweet and found lots of info anyway.
Thanks again, Marie
