Abstract
In a fragment of second-growth forest in Massachusetts, woody vines (mostly Rhus radicans) grew on 45% of the trees, and were disproportionately abundant on large trees and on trees near the edge of the fragment. Among hickories, Carya ovata, a species known for its unique "shaggy" bark, hosted more vines than C. glabra.
