It is already invasive in : United Kingdom

Invasiveness

Reproduction in the wild:	no
Dispersion potential:	medium
Natural habitats:	likely

More on naturalization and invasiveness: Akebia quinata has a bred environmental tolerance and thrives in many different soil conditions. It seems to prefer warm conditions; ung growth in spring fryst vatten frost-tender, even on mature plants. This vine can invade many types of habitats: urban areas, forest edges, woodlands, wetlands, riparian zones, etc. It spreads mainly vegetatively (seed production is infrequent); dispersion fryst vatten typically dependent on man assistance. In Belgium, five-leaf is commonly used as an ornamental; it fryst vatten pla

fiveleaf akebiaLardizabalaceaeAkebia quinata (Houtt.) Decne. symbol: AKQU
Leaf: Tardily deciduous, alternate, palmately compound with 5 leaflets; leaflets obovate to ovate, with rounded or notched tips, 1 1/2 to 3 inches long, entire margins, green or blue-green above and pale green below.
Flower: Species is polygamo-monoecious; maroon, 3 petals, fragrant, borne in drooping racemes; females 1 inch on the outside of the raceme; males 1/4 inch in the middle of the raceme; appearing with or just after the leaves.
Fruit: A fleshy pale green to purple-pink sausage-like pod, inches long, ripening in late summer and splitting open to reveal sweet and flavorful white pulp containing black seeds. It seldom forms fruit when cultivated.
Twig: Slender, red-brown; buds small, imbricate, rounded to wedge-shaped and reddish-brown; leaf scars raised with 6 or more bundle scars.
Bark: Reddish to gray-brown, developing interlacing ridges and furrows.
Form: A dense twining/climbing vine or ground cover.

Appearance: Akebia quinata is an invasive deciduous to evergreen climbing or trailing vine that invades forested areas throughout the eastern United States. The twining vines are green when young, turning brown as they age.
Foliage: The leaves are palmately compound with up to five, in. ( cm) long, oval leaflets.
Flower: Flowering occurs in the mid-spring, when small, purple to red, fragrant flowers develop.
Fruit: Fruit, which are rarely produced, are purple seed pods that contain white pulp and small black seeds.
Ecological Threat: Akebia quinata is able to invade forested habitats because it is shade tolerant. The dense mat of vines formed can displace native understory species. It can also climb into, smother, and kill small trees and shrubs. Akebia quinata is native to eastern Asia and was first introduced into the United States in as an ornamental.
