Native of China, Korea, and Japan; in N.A. VT to IL and MO, south to GA and AR. | |
Abundance | Uncommon to fairly common in the Mountains, except rare in the mid-north Piedmont. It is mildly invasive up North and needs to be monitored here, as it does some invading of natural habitats in the Mountains. | |
Habitat | Roadbanks, disturbed woods, near golf course, near waterfall. Mostly in moist soils. | |
Phenology | Flowering May-June; fruiting June-July. | |
Identification | Wineberry is easy to identify, due to the white undersides of the leaflets, the abundant and soft reddish prickles, and the red berries that easily detach from the receptacle. | |
