Ampelopsis glandulosa, with common names creeper, porcelain berry, Amur peppervine, and wild grape, is an ornamental plant, native to temperate areas of Asia[2] including China, Japan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
[citation needed] Porcelain berry can be confused with native grapes based on leaf shape but can be differentiated by cutting the stem and observing the pith.
It does not grow in permanently wet soils or heavily shaded areas, and is not typically found in the interiors of mature forests.
Its invasive range extends from Wisconsin and Iowa at its westernmost extent to the Atlantic coastline at the east, where it is found from New Hampshire to Georgia.
brevipedunculata has distinctive medium blue fruit, and is an ornamental plant used in gardens to garnish the walls and arbours.
