Wisteria
Wisteria is both the common name and the scientific name.
Wisteria is found in trees of Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan
It is a twisting vine (25-30 ft) of purple flowers that look similar to a bunch of grapes
Wisteria creeps up trees and other bushes and keeps sunlight from getting to the other plants
Not many animals eat the vine (not even deer)
Wisteria is an invasive species; introduced from a foreign place and negatively affects other plants
It came from Asia; started small and then grew out of control; this plant restrict other plants from making their own food and absorbing CO2
Wisteria will continue to make its way up trees and communities
Limiting: weed killer development
People have been trying to use weed killer but it kills trees under the vines
