The porcelain-berry vine had sprouted from the junction of three forks of the main trunk about 20' above the ground. The "containerized" plant was doing very well and had grown over some of the lower branches of the oak; a dramatic demonstration of the tenacious nature of this non-native woody vine. The shiny, porcelain-like berries are now ripening to display their range of colors from pale blue to lilac to reddish-purple making porcelain-berry easy to identify.
