[MAIPC] oriental bittersweet

[Marc Imlay]

Has anyone surveyed native American bittersweet, Celastrus scandens where it
is not yet near oriental bittersweet, Celastrus orbiculatus, for potential
insect or pathogen biological controls of oriental bittersweet? They are
very closely related and may by hybridizing.
