What are Invasive Plants? | Porcelainberry

Porcelainberry

Ampelopsis brevipedunculata

Porcelainberry is a vigorous climbing vine that blankets shrubs and small trees, weakening and killing them by blocking sunlight. Fast growing with prolific seeds, it prefers moist habitats and disturbed areas, thriving in a variety of light conditions. Seeds are spread by birds and mammals. DO NOT PLANT.

How to Control
Hand pull vines in the fall or spring. Cut large vines at ground level and cut regrowth as needed.
