Have you ever seen Bittersweet growing in the wild? You'll typically find it in rural areas growing on roadsides, up telephone poles or other trees. And never easy to get to. I remember years ago finding it on the roadside on Cape Cod and nearly lost my life in the ditch it was growing out of. Every year at the Fisherville Fall Antique's show a woman shows up with bundles for sale. I thank her every time for what I know to be very hard work in pulling all that Bittersweet briar off the poles and trees.
Bittersweet is toxic to animals so not recommended in the home with pets.
