Hello all.
This post is simply a documenting of some Euonymous fortunei AKA wintercreeper at Shelby Park. Since IDing this in my yard, I now see it everywhere, all over the trees and Shelby Park and in the neighborhood. It takes over the midsection of the tree, and if you didn’t know better you would think that it was simply part of the tree, and the branches it gives off are the tree’s branches. This is an interesting vine because it can cover the ground and also climb trees, and in tree-climbing mode, can become an enormously thick vine, and put off branches and berries. Even though we don’t want it here in the US, in our forests, it is a pretty spectacular vine. You have to give it that.
