Description
C. radicans is a perennial vine of the Bignoniaceae family native to North America and Canada. [1]
Distribution
C. radicans is found in the Ontario region of Canada, the eastern half of the United States, California, and Washington. [1]
Ecology
Habitat
C. radicans is found in bottomland forests, swamp forests, fencerows, old fields, forests, thickets, and disturbed areas. It was primarily limited to swamps and bottomlands in the pre-Columbian landscape, and has become a successful colonizer of abandoned farmland, fencerows, and thickets. [2]
Phenology
C. radicans flowers April-August. [3] Its foliage can often be seen in canopies of 30-40 meters high, and with stems of up to 15 centimeters in diameter. C. radicans is easily recognizable by its tannish, shreddy bark. [2]
Fire ecology
C. radicans is not fire resistant, but has a high fire tolerance. [1]
Use by animals
C. radicans is an occasional food source for large mammals and terrestrial birds. [1]
Conservation and Management
C. radicans is listed as a weedy or invasive species by The University Press of Kentucky, the Cornell University Press, and the Southern Weed Science Society. [1]
