Porcelain Berry Is Everywhere On Cape Cod This Fall.

“Porcelain-berry is a deciduous, perennial, woody vine from Asia that can grow 10 to 15 feet a year. A relative of our native grapes, porcelain-berry produces distinctive fruits in late summer and early fall that change from lilac or green to bright blue.”

A bit of folklore:
“In folk medicine, the roots and stems of porcelain berry have been used as an anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and anti-hepatotoxic agent.”
Have you seen any Porcelain Berry this fall? I took this photograph near the parking lot at Fort Hill.
