Gardeners in North America either love bittersweet vines or hate them. Bittersweet plants can kill trees and are difficult to eradicate from your landscape.
But during the fall season bittersweet vines put on a display few other plants can rival, as the deep yellow skin of their berries bursts to reveal an orange jewel within.
And not to be outdone by the berry, bittersweet plant's fall foliage blankets its victims in yellow splendor. To grow bittersweet vines or not to grow bittersweet vines: truly a bittersweet decision for landscapers.
Decorative wild crafted bittersweet is available locally at the Herb Farm @ Strodes Run (http://www.strodesrun.com) or can be purchased on ebay
