Educate Yourself About the Virginia Creeper and Its Berry-eating birds
Virginia Creeper
Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a fast-growing native vine, with brilliant red leaves and succulent dark purple fruit. Birds like Pileated Woodpeckers, Bluebirds, Great-crested Flycatchers and other kinds of birds eat this fruit. Putting a decorative bird feeding table next to the vine could enhance the beauty of your bird feeding garden.
The best place to plant this vine is next or near large trees or on a sturdy arbor. Make sure the place receives lots of light every day. The Virginia creeper likes sun to full shade and likes all different conditions of soil, and will withstand pollution and wind as well. It can climb up to “between” 30-50ft (9-15m), and its spread depends on the support it has.
