DESCRIPTION: A revolutionary breakthrough in Bittersweet culture. Imagine never having to wonder if you are buying or selling a male or female plant again. The majority of the flowers formed on Autumn Revolution ™ are perfect, meaning that the flower itself has both male and female parts. In other words, you only need one plant to bear fruit. Perhaps because of this unique characteristic the fruit production is absolutely extraordinary and the berry size is twice that of the species.
DESCRIPTION: A vigorous perennial climbing vine that will quickly wrap itself around any upright structure in a season. Produces papery cone- like hops later in the summer, typically used to produce beer. Will die back to the ground each winter, but grows back quickly each season.
