Do you have problems with the berries staining the door or the vines scratching? -
Bittersweet is certainly autumnal, but it is also wildly invasive, so please throw your swag away in a plastic bag when the time comes to change decor. -
Hi Rita - I did not have problems with staining , but was told they stain very easily , so when using them you want to be very careful. There are no stains on my white door or any scratches - I have an pretty hardy oil based paint on my door and it does not scratch easily. My front door is also southern facing and gets hours and hours of direct sun, so the berries are dried now - but still look great. That was a great question about staining, I'm going to add a note to my post on my blog. Thank you. -
Douglas - good to know! I was hoping to save these for next year, but when I do throw them out, I will be sure to place them in a plastic bag.
