Celastrus scandens is hardy from Zone 3-8, you could try it, I have stuff overwinter with extra protection that is not hardy here, like Knifhofia and Rose of Sharon, to name a couple. Janet

Sorry I cannot tell you how to sprout the seeds. I have been pulling all volunteers from my property for the last 5 years, after we, to make way for an addition on the house, had to cut down the one vine we planted. I consider this plant a major menace and what people call a 'Thug', beautiful as the berries may be. It would have taken over my property and may still, as I am still finding seedling vines everywhere. The seeds sprout too easily!
