Ever grown piper betel vine?
I picked one of these up and am wondering if you've ever grown it in the ground. I'm quite sure they wouldn't survive our winters but I wonder how big it would get in one season here?

Re: Ever grown piper betel vine?
Yes, it nearly took over 1/2 acre. It creeps, it climbs, it roots along it's running stems. It can grow 20' in one warm season.
It's not as invasive as it's cousin Kava Kava, which has sub-teranian runners. |

Re: Ever grown piper betel vine?
Wow! Where do you live? I believe it would be considered an annual here in Dallas, correct? I certainly don't want to plant something THAT aggressive if it's not.

I'm in SE FL, It's not another Kudzo and will likely die back below 28F.

Re: Ever grown piper betel vine?
Do you suppose it would die back to the ground then come back up in the spring or die completely?
