Description
This is a very attractive vine, which we found fully covering a chain link fence. The berries were bright red when we saw it in July, and the leaves have a very pretty shape. The berries have been said to be edible, but we didn't try it. It's rather frequent in rich woods and thickets in the eastern half of Texas.
