I’m guessing you don’t have a male and a female plant. Do you know if you did get both plants?

Bittersweet really need full sun – a few hours a sun will let the plant grow, but not let the berries do what they’re supposed to do.

We have Bittersweet Vines here at the nursery. Stop in and pick one up. They can be planted at any time of the growing season.

I planted 3 bittersweet vines together many years ago. The vines are green each year but it never has blossomed or had berries. What is wrong here????

My bittersweet vines get little greenish white flowers and even hard green berries but never get the orange berrie. Why? It get about 4-5 hours of sun and I know I have a male & famale. It’s about 7 years old and I have to prune severly every year to keep it under control. I’ve tried not pruning at all to see if it would get the orange berries but it did not. Can you tell me what the problem might be? Answer at jmlenexa@aol.com.

We have a bittersweet vine that has never produced berries; that is red berries. It has some white/yellow looking berries on it but they never break open to have the red inside. We bought both male and female from a nursery.

Can you tell me how to protect bittersweet vines from the harsh northern MN winters? I was given a gift of a male and a female plant this past spring, and I want to ensure their survival over the winter. Whatever advice you can give me, I sincerely appreciate. Thank you.
