Smilax smallii
Bamboo Vine
High climbing vine with shiny evergreen foliage. Great for trellis, porch, or cut for long lasting decoration. Female plants have green berries which turn black. Mostly thornless except on young shoots near the ground. Grows from a large potato-like tuber and new shoots grow rapidly in spring once root system is established. Indeterminate spread. Provide sun to part shade, sandy garden soil and support to climb on. Climbs by tendrils which wrap around small diameter objects. Foliage on mature stems is oval but young shoots may have arrowhead shaped leaves. This southeastern U.S. native vine is one of our most popular plants and is the plant that gave Evergreen, Alabama the name.
