A vigorous, undemanding climber that climbs using leaf tendrils (without adhesive pads). Leaves, composed of 5 egg-shaped, coarsely toothed leaflets, are green in summer, and turn red in autumn. It attains a height of 10-20 m (1-2 m of annual growth). Generally healthy, fully frost-hardy and undemanding. Due to the lack of adhesive pads it can’t scale a bare wall. Particularly useful for growing up wire meshes, arbours, pergolas and various supports. It can also be used as ground cover.
