About

Peppervine is a climbing plant that thrives in the forests of the American South. Its tendrils exert enough force to snap thick tree branches as the vine pulls itself upward.

    A young plant grows true leaves and a stem or trunk, putting on height each season.
  4. 4.
    mature
    Fully grown, flowering or fruiting at adult size.
