Generally, you would need both a male and female bittersweet plant to get the much loved orange berries, but you’ll only need one with Autumn Revolution™ Bittersweet. This beloved native vine is covered in green leaves in the summer and joined by gorgeous orange berries that form in the late summer and get their color in early fall. The berries on Autumn Revolution™ are twice the size of other bittersweet varieties and are great for cut arrangements and other DIY crafts. The berries that aren’t used for crafts in the fall provide wonderful winter interest.
