Plant one male plant for every five female plants. Tolerates most soil conditions except very wet, soggy ones. Plants grow rapidly, once the root system is established, and must be pruned to keep them under control. Male plants, which do not have attractive seed pods, are more vigorous and need heavier pruning than female plants. Provide a trellis or other support for vine to climb on.
Euonymus scale is occasionally a problem.
Rampant growth is a problem, especially if vine is allowed to climb on shrubs and trees. It is difficult to find labeled male and female plants. Consult local sources, including historic or public gardens and arboreta, regarding cultivars and related species that grow well in your area. Foliage typically turns a nice yellow in fall. Best used in rough, open areas where it has lots of room to spread.
