Ecology

Habitat

In the Coastal Plain in Florida, A. arborea can be found in river floodplains, wax myrtle thickets, hedgerows, coastal scrub savannas, and calcareous banks of drainage ditches.[1] Associated species include Vitis rotundifolia, Juniperus virginiana, Ilex vomitoria, Ilex cassine, Bumelia lanuginosa, and wax myrtle.[1] A. arborea responds positively to soil disturbance by agriculture in South Carolina communities indicating it exists in a post-agricultural woodland.[2]

Phenology

Ampelopsis arborea has been observed to flower between June and July.[3]
