The Virginia creeper is a \u00a0woody, dedicuous vine,<\/a> Virginia Creeper can be high-climbing or trailing, 3-40 ft.; the structure on which it climbs is the limiting factor. Virginia Creeper climbs by means of tendrils with disks that fasten onto bark<\/a> or rock. Its leaves, with 5 leaflets, occasionally 3 or 7, radiating from the tip of the petiole,<\/a> coarsely toothed,<\/a> with a pointed tip, and tapered to the base, up to 6 inches long. Leaves provide early fall color, turning brilliant mauve, red and purple. Inconspicuous flowers small, greenish, in clusters, appearing in spring. Fruit<\/a> bluish, about 1\/4 inch in diameter. This is a great vine to plant next to an area that you want to bring some life to, such as a dead or dying juniper tree. I installed one at my house on a fence and looks beautiful!!<\/p>\n
