| I can see the image fine...don't know what it is though. Maybe it was just a weird temporary glitch that's fixed itself now. |

| Second image worked fine. first one chopped off even now for me.
Looks like gosh darn bittersweet to me. Is there anything to rule that out? |

| An internet buddy asked me to identify it so he could learn how to propagate it.
I'm guessing that's a bad idea?
:)
Is it American or Oriental?
Does it matter?
Are they both invasive? |

| Oh boy! If it is Oriental Bittersweet it will self-propagate beyond his wildest dreams/nightmares (and those of his neighbors). American Bittersweet is much better behaved and not to be feared. I can't tell from the photo which it is, but I trust SallyG to know the difference, and by her comment I'd say it is Oriental. |

| Love that vote of confidence but I am not saying I can see enough to know if American or Oriental..You, Vestia?
The difference is seen in the location of fruit clusters. Chance are it is Oriental which is bad invasive. I think I see clusters coming from the joints where the leaves are attached.
