We were walking the loop the other day, and noticed the Bittersweet on Five Forks Drive has tons of yellow fruits.  

 

The seeds are inside these yellow shells, and when the shells pop open you can see the RED berries.  It won't be long now.

 

And don't worry, you don't need to find this particular vine, Bittersweet grows everywhere!!!  In fact, it takes over weaker trees and shrubs.  Just look around, you'll see some, especially when the berries pop out.  Then, you can see yellow and red all over the vines.  

 

It would be a great fall decoration for the mantel, except I'm not sure how durable they are.  Are the berries going to fall off all over the place?  I've seen bittersweet vines with berries in florist shops, but I think they are probably treated with silicone or something.  

 

Anyway, we just love seeing them in the neighborhood.

 

HAPPY FALL!!!
