This vigorous deciduous vine climbs by attaching its tendrils to almost anything. The compound leaves are composed of 5 leaflets, each 2-5" long, which turn a brilliant scarlet in early autumn. It can grow to 50' or more and is one of the best of the woody plants for fall color. The small dark fruit is attractive to birds. The countryside of Europe is a brilliant red in fall thanks to the introduction of this eastern U.S. native.
