celastrus scandens american bittersweet vine shrub seed
#A2682
Celastrus scandens
American Bittersweet
This pretty American native is a hardy climbing shrub with bright green oval leaves, producing orange-yellow fruits that dry and crack open, making a nice fall display.   Will cover a fence or trellis quickly.  
Once, one could find this plant all over fences in the Midwest, but spraying has made it difficult to locate. The roots have been used to treat rheumatism, dysentery, and skin disorders.  (Male and female plants must be planted for fruit production)  Hardy to -50F (-45C);  height: 24ft.
