|
|
| |

|
|
Climate / Hardiness Zones:
|
| |
Zone 4 to Zone 8

|
|
Growth:
|
| |
Range: Grows from 25' to 60'.
Dirr says: "Almost unlimited in ability to climb tall trees, perhaps 60 to 80' in height; obviously can be maintained at lower heights but the inherent ability to cover large structures is present; has been used as a shrub in the open. True clinging vine and climbing by root-like holdfasts; interesting in that it develops in more than one plane and gives depth to the structure it is covering; the branches protrude out from the structure creating interesting shadows unlike that obtainable from Parthenocissus"

|
|
Landscape Value:
|
| |
Dirr says: "The best vine! As Wyman so succinctly stated, "There is no better clinging vine". Excellent for massive effect on brick or stone walls, arbors, trees and any free structure; becomes quite woody, so needs ample support; the extra cultural care required in establishment is rewarded many times over in ornamental assets for the excellent foliage, flowers and winter bark effect this species a four-season plant. Somewhat slow to develop after transplanting."
