Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

The bittersweet vines are very pretty, especially in autumn with their bright red and orange seeds. However, this one, the non-native species can hybridize with the American bittersweet and in time cause the latter to become scarce. You can tell this is not the native variety because the seeds are arranged all along the stem, rather than clustered at the end as in American bittersweet.
