FALL COLOR



VIRGINIA CREEPER

Parthenocissus quinquefolia

The first Fall color around here is not even a tree. A climbing vine known as Virginia Creeper turns a brilliant red several weeks before the tree leaves turn color.



Like poison ivy, Virginia Creeper grows on the ground until or unless it finds a tree to climb.

Known also as Woodbine, it is frequently confused with poison ivy but having 5 leaves, it does not fit the old saw "beware leaves of three".

It is indigenous to the entire Eastern United States.

For the record, these photos were taken by Marilyn.
