I am so glad you posted this. I've struggled with how to differentiate the two species for a long time, and this makes the identification keys clear and simple. Thank you!!
Asian Bittersweet is #1 biggest invasive problem in my yard and I will be very busy cutting it down after leaves drop. I don't think I've ever seen the native. For my bigger vines, does the drilling/Epsom salt technique work to kill them? I have them in all sizes and plenty of females. I'm going for them all, though. These are worse than poison ivy because these pop up EVERYWHERE and the poison ivy, though very tricky, stays in the margins of my backyard.
I do not recommend using salt of any type (table or epsom) for treating stumps or any plant for that matter. The amount of salt required is high and it can cause problems if it builds up in the soil. Salt is toxic to most invertebrates and amphibians at the levels used in most of these home-mixed herbicide replacements. I recommend using an herbicide labeled for cut stump application at the labeled rate.
I read the native can cross pollinate with the non native…so should I bother growing the native one from seed from prairie moon nursery if we sadly have Asian around?
They can hybridize - although the extent that it is occurring in the wild isn't fully known. Seed from a reputable source is probably not going to be a problem.

Timely. We've got a bunch to remove, and I didn't know there even was a native bittersweet. Thanks!

Glad you found the video helpful!
Same! Our woods are swamped by vines and it’s so hard to tell them apart.
@@emkn1479 Vines can be tricky to ID - especially if all of the leaves, flowers and fruits are way up in a tree.
All these details are wonderful in adition to actual pictures. Thank you so much
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
Your good descriptions and illustrations make this much easier, thank you.
