Invasiveness of oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb.) in Minnesota
Abstract
C and higher soil pH values will reduce the species' survival rate. This suggests that Oriental bittersweet will most likely not spread into the northern half of Minnesota (Plant Hardiness Zones 4a or colder) or into the western parts of the state where soil pH values are higher than 7.5.
