Bay Starvine (Schisandra glabra)
The text provided mentions several plants referred to as "starvine." It's important to distinguish between them, as they are not all the same species. This page focuses on Schisandra glabra, also known as Bay Starvine, and Brandegea bigelovii, also known as Desert Star-Vine.
Considerations for Pets
- The text mentions "berry vine" patterns, which could be relevant if berries are produced by the plant. Further research into the fruit production of Schisandra glabra is warranted to assess any risks.
