Celastrus - Bittersweet

Acorn Farms logo
See our Availability

 

Bittersweet is noted for its showy, orange-red fruit on female plants in the fall.  Fruit production requires both male and female plants.  Celastrus can be rampant in the wild, but will grow to about 20-30' under cultivated conditions.  A must for country gardens.
