What's this? I have a lot of it in my garden, and I want to know if it's edible (and therefore worth keeping) or not (and therefore I should treat it as a weed).
Thanks for posting this; we have it in our garden too (in the wilds of Central PA) and I'd been wondering about it. I've now gone an pulled what I could. It's growing pretty much around and through the links in our fences that we share with the neighbors.
It's not as bad as bittersweet! I spent an hour this morning pulling at pernicious bittersweet roots that permeated the patch of ground where I wanted to plant a rose. I did finally succeed in my quest, but it took four different tools (shovel, hoe, heavy-duty clippers, and garden fork), and there are still plenty of roots in there which will continue to sprout more accursed bittersweet in the years to come. I'll bet it likes the compost I added, too. [end rant]
