Be on the lookout for the Invasive of the Month: ORIENTAL BITTERSWEET
Oriental or Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) is a highly invasive, non-native vine that grows vigorously, damaging trees and other plants and forming dense stands. Bittersweet produces an abundance of bright fruits, which are spread by birds and other animals to new locations. (CT Plant Invasive Work Group)
