Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia)

Virginia Creeper is a deciduous vine that may ascend to a height of 50 feet. The leaves are alternate and palmately compound (5 elliptical leaflets) with coarsely toothed margin. The bark is gray-brown with aerial roots and tendrils. When rapidly growing, the aerial roots are bright orange-brown. In the summer, small, green flowers are borne in clusters. When climbing, the vine produces a blue-black berry that forms on long-stemmed clusters. The fruit matures in late summer.
