Parthenocissus Quinquefolia is a vigorous climbing plant with dull green foliage which turns shades off crimson-red in the autumn. NOTE its berries are poisonous and the sap contains raphides which can produce a persistent, blistering, itchy rash—like a cross between poison ivy and fibreglass. ALSO: This plant is listed on Schedule 9 of the UK Wildlife & Countryside Act as an “invasive non-native” species. This does not stop it from being sold in the UK, or from being grown in gardens, but it does mean that care should be taken with managing it and disposing of unwanted material – eg. after pruning.
