Redwing is a woody vine that is now a part of the Choice Plants program at the JC Raulston Arboretum. It grows 7 to 15 feet tall, depending on the support structure on which is it growing. Redwing produces small yellow flowers and bright red wing-like fruits that resemble those produced by maples. This vine works great on an arbor or trellis and grows well in North Carolina.
