Woody Vines - Smithsonian Research

STRI had this article up on its page several weeks ago. I find it interesting to watch and see if the vines are in fact more numerous than in the past. We haven't noticed anything in particular, but now we are watching for this type of growth. We have one vine mat in particular directly above the entry into the walkway to the ocean facing cabanas that is enormous. It does receive more sun than the trees in that location so it matches with the research in this article.
