I've only seen one specimen of Grape Honeysuckle, and that was one full-sized one on a wooden support at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie just north of Wilmington, Illinois. I did not know of it beforehand. It is native mostly to the Midwestern US; then, some of the South, and some of New York. It spread to some spots in New England. It is a bushy vine with foliage covered with white bloom. It bears yellow, trumpet-like flowers for 2 or 3 weeks in late spring into early summer. It then develops tight clusters of red or orange-red berries in fall. It is sold by some native plant nurseries , as Possibility Place in northeast IL.
