Adkins Mystery Monday: Persist Throughout Winter and Stem Remains

February 8, 2021 by Adkins Arboretum

Share
Happy Mystery Monday! Last week, we highlighted the snowy footprints of the Eastern Cottontail! These rabbits generally spend their lives in an area of 10 acres or less and can run up to 18 miles an hour.
This week, we ask you, what plant produces these bluish black berries? These berries persist throughout winter and the stem remains green year round.

    Looks like Greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia). Sometimes called “nature’s barbed wire”! Sometimes little green snakes perch on the branches to hunt as they are the exact same color.
