Woody Vines - Crossvine

We've had some trouble getting this to grow well. (highly recommended - virginia creeper or coral honeysuckle) Nevertheless it is growing and flowering.

We have been seeing an awful lot of these in the neighborhood, even in daylight. They've been multiplying like, well, rabbits.

The mainstay of our wildlife backyard. Abundant and beloved fruits, and unmatched fall color. We have six highbush and two lowbush. Readily available at native plant sales/sites.
