  • Location

    United States of America. New York. Westchester Co. Scarsdale. . Between Crane Road and Popham Road and between the Bronx River and the Metro North Railroad tracks.

  • Habitat

    Mature woodland in narrow strip of land between path and railroad tracks, dominated by Quercus rubra, Acer platanoides and Platanus occidentalis.

  • Description

    Vine growing about 7 m tall. The stem woody, about 1 cm diam. Only one plant seen here. Entered into iMapInvasives. This from Robert DelTorto of the Bronx River Parkway Reservation Conservancy on 9 June 2016: "Yes, the DEC notified us at WCPRC about 10 years ago that kudzu was present on the reservation adjacent to the Scarsdale MetroNorth RR station. They led the effort to remove it. Grubbed an area and planted grass which seemed to work. I recall digging out a huge vine; I still have the specimen which I use in my class on exotic invasives. DEC came in and removed more a few years ago at the same location. Not surprised that you found more. Bob". Phenology of specimen: Fruit.
