| Don't know if you remember this Hog Panel Arbor that DH & I made in May 2009 for a couple Bittersweet plants I wanted to try to grow. By August '09, it looked like this:
The next yr in July, 2010 ...lots & lots of growing foilage!
And TODAY, look what I saw FINALLY: (after several nights of frost):
And here's what I cut & laid on the Hoosier cabinet to take a pic:
HOORAY! My GJ arbor FINALLY paid off! Oh, the "Bittersweet" of life! LOL! Jeanne S.

| Wonderful!! We just cleaned up the row of lilacs out front that the snow storm took out. Found some bittersweet vines wrapped around some of the branches. It's so pretty! |

| Ya did good, Jeanne! I loved your hog fence arbor idea when you first posted it and now I see just how great it turned out. And the fruits of your labor look good for fall too! |

Glad your bittersweet is doing great!
I have tried planting seeds here, and a
friend in Indiana has planted also. Neither of us
has had any plants....2 very separate
locations with no luck! |

| Yeah! For anyone wanting to plant Bittersweet keep in mind that it can be extremely invasive and is on many states invasive species list. |
RE: Hog Panel Arbor produces RESULTS!

| Actually, there are two varieties of bittersweet. The variety from Asia is invasive. The variety from America is not. |

Thanks, GJers!
bookjunky...I bought the plants back in '09 at a nursery so HOPEFULLY they are the American variety & another at a local plant sale. Thanks for that info. Jeanne S. |
