Ask the maker. All I can tell you is that it is so.

Polymorphism is not unusual among vining plants. Some tropical species may
even go through three distinctively different growth phases to reach the
flowering stage. This has been well documented for the genus Monstera in the
Araceae and several other genera in a wide variety of plant families,
especially Cucurbitaceae and Passifloraceae.

Not Bittersweet. Both are Hedera helix, the juvenille and adult fruiting
phases.

Actually Bittersweet has yellow capsules that split open to reveal the
seeds
with a fleshy red coat. Hedera helix has blackish berries.

If the oval leaves and fruit are the *mature* phase, how come the stem
is so much narrower?
