Supple-jack can tolerate extreme habitats and a wide range of conditions.  In bottomland forests, it can become a large, twining vine with woody stems.  It can also grow in the desert-like conditions of Missouri glades where it becomes a densly sprawling mat. It can spread aggressively, so make sure you have an appropriate spot for it.

Wildlife use the plant both as a food source, eating the drupes of blue berries, and as a place of shelter.  The berries should not be consumed by people. Supplejack is dioecious; female plants will need a male plant nearby if berries are to be produced.

Its common names of supple-jack or rattan vine indicate its use for making walking sticks or wicker products.
