Oriental bittersweet in Odiorne Point Park

I was walking in Odiorne Point Park (Rye, NH) not long ago and there was SO much bittersweet. In this one section it has completely taken over and covers an entire hill, there used to be plants, shrub, and more trees growing here. It was the densest area of bittersweet growth that I have ever seen.
