Oriental Bittersweet
The oriental bittersweet is a harmful plant that was introduced to the U.S. around the 1860's. It is native to Korea, Japan, and China. It was used as an ornamental plant but has been causing harm to other plants.
Oriental Bittersweet was introduced to the United States around the 1860’s as an ornamental plant. An ornamental plant is a plant used for decorations. When the stems of the plant are cut in fall, they can spread and more can grow. This plant grows rapidly and can grow up to 98.5ft and 7in in diameter. It can spread from tree to tree in a forest canopy. Oriental bittersweet can kill people’s plants.
The oriental bittersweet is harmful to the environment because it can stop water flows and the nutrients that other plants need. Because it’s so long, the oriental bittersweet can shade out the sunlight from shorter plants. It also weakens trees which makes it more vulnerable to windstorms, ice storms, or any other kind of dangerous weather. Oriental bittersweet can grow tree to tree in a forest and when one is cut down, other trees are likely to fall down, too.
You can help get rid of oriental bittersweet by pulling them, but you have to make sure you pull it by the root or it will keep growing! You could also contact an organization that works to get rid of invasive plants.
