Carolyn, thank you for the information on the bittersweet. I didn't know it was invasive. Maybe if I am in So. Maine some Fall I will be able to pick some from the road also. Lot cheaper than $6.00 a small bunch.
Applebees gave a free meal to the Veterans today. My husband was a avionics technican in the Air Force for almost 12 years and is retired because of a service conected disability. We went to lunch there and after a wait of about a hour we had a good meal. I had to pay for mine, but his was free. The restaurant was swamped with customers. Nice gesture to the Veterans. Nice to see all the Veterans talking to each other about experiences and where they were stationed.

Bittersweet is one of the plants that the Forestry Dept does NOT want planted in Maine ... as stated previously, it is VERY invasive to native plants.

Marilyn: Bittersweet is VERY invasive!They love to climb trees! There is plenty of in in So. Maine and it's often often beside the road maybe planted there to help hold the banking. I have never seen it in Aroostook. When Aroostook friends come down to visit in the Fall we usually go scrounging for it so they can take some home. Many people want none of it on their property.
The red berries are plentiful this year...I pick mine in nearby powerline.

On this veteran’s day, let’s remind ourselves of 13 who might have been spared:
Mike Cahill, Major Major L. Eduardo, Staff Sgt. Justin M. DeCrow, Capt. John Gaffaney, Specialist Frederick Greene, Spc. Jason Dean Hunt, Sgt. Amy Krueger, Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, Pfc. Michael Pearson, Captain Russell Seager, Pvt. Francheska Velez, Lt. Col. Juanita Warman, Pfc. Kham Xiong.
Killed by Political Correctness.

Question? Does Maine have Bittersweet growing wild? I can't remember any from when I was younger, but it can be found here, usually at farm stands and quite expensive. Any people that have it, won't tell where it is growing. Its great for decorating in the Fall.
