  Subject: [NatureNS] Non-native vine - Five-leaf Akebia


  In Halifax, I noticed a vine I had not seen before.
  It has a palmately-compound leaf with five leaflets.
  The leaf margin is smooth.
  My best guess is that it is Five-leaf Akebia (Akebia quinata).
  Some info at: http://www.carolinanature.com/trees/akqu.html


  Question to botanists on this list:

  =E2=80=8BThis Akebia is considered frost hardy, thus likely to survive =
our winters.

  Is it commonly planted in Nova Scotia?

  Does it flower here? (I did not see any flowers on the specimen.)

  Could it be(come) a nuisance plant?


  Thanks for any insight,

  Burkhard
