Nekemias arborea
Peppervine is a fast-spreading, deciduous to semi-evergreen climber that scrambles over trees and shrubs, reaching 11 m or more. It does best in moist soil and is often grown for its colourful foliage and ornamental berries.
Nekemias arborea, commonly known as pepper vine, is native to the Southeastern United States, Texas, and New Mexico. It spreads rapidly, climbing up trees and bushes. It prefers moist soils, such as stream banks, and disturbed areas.
