Question
Hi, including photos of a woody vine. Found on an old farm property in Wayland, Ma. I am wondering if it is bittersweet...and if so, if it is American or Oriental. Thanks.
Answer
Dear Sheila, I can't identify all of the plants in your images, but assuming they all represent the same population, you do appear to have a species of Celastrus (bittersweet). Certain details are not represented in the photographs for me to confidently tell you which species, though the crenate margins on some leaves suggest Celastrus orbiculatus (Oriental bittersweet). Best wishes.
