Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

This is the non-native, invasive bittersweet which at first glance looks very much like the native bittersweet (C. scandens). However, you can see that here the flowering parts/fruit grow from leaf axils along the branches, a sure sign of the non-native plant. The native one has flowers/fruit only at the tip (terminal clusters).
