Parthenocissus quinquefolia
vineZones 3–9nativedeer resistantNative self-clinging vine with five-leaflet compound leaves turning brilliant scarlet in fall. Blue-black berries feed birds. Fast-growing cover for walls and fences.
Cut back overgrown areas. Remove vine from surfaces where it's not wanted (gutters, windows, rooflines).
Direct vine away from unwanted surfaces. Adhesive discs can damage paint and mortar.
Brilliant scarlet fall color is one of the best of any vine. Leave berries for migrating birds.
Berries are a critical fall food source for woodpeckers, thrushes, and other songbirds. Vine provides nesting sites. Fall color rivals any tree. Important host plant for sphinx moths.
