I think NH has added it to the invasive list or is about too. It
can be like kudzu up here.

yes, it's on the banned invasives list in NH now. this summer's
invasive removal project here has mostly been Oriental bittersweet
vines. last year was all the damned Norway maples... i'm still
finding crossbreeds though. i doubt most people would fuss about the
crossbreeds, but you don't get any usable sap out of one.

Wonder what the state is doing about it - I heard something about a big "get
the purple loosestrife" campaign, but with other crap going on, I didn't
really get a chance to follow it or get involved.

Deer won't even eat it. Multiflora rose is about the only greenery left
on the floor of the woods behind my house (Randallstown, MD.) And
Maryland does list it as non-native invasive, last I heard.

Just found some more for me to prune to the ground and paint with Round Up.

Yes, it's the list of invasives is now prohibited in New Hampshire. This summer most minimally invasive projects where Oriental bittersweet is grapes. Norway last year, all the damn maple tree. I still although found in hybrids.

They may accept dead the aboriginal problem, but if it produced seeds for a year two... As the commodity I affiliated to mentions, "A medium-sized backcountry is able of producing 500,000 to 1,000,000 seeds."
