We are plagued with a vine this year.. help me id it? Can I post a photo?

Question

Is it possible to upload a photo of this invasive vine?

Answer 1

I don't know the name of it but I have the same problem from time to time. I spray the leaves with Round Up and it kills it and the roots.

Answer 2

This could possibly be English Ivy. The leaf shape looks just like it but yours is very light in color.

Answer 3

I agree with Shade, it is much like one of many varieties of wild grape vines.

Open link and see all of the varieties and leaves of different appearance.

Answer 4

you'd have to have the pic online and post a link to it here.... someplace like Flikr, Photobucket, Yahoo, Webshots, Shutterfly, Snapfish, etc.... ...

Answer 5

It looks like you have yourself a wild grape vine. They will get massive if you don't get rid of it. The other option is to cultivate it on a trellis or other strong support system. I have seen these vines grow to the top of an 80 foot tree with a vine 6 inches in diameter. Cut it out at the base and use Round-up Herbicide to kill it if you wish. There are various species of wild grapes with slightly different looks to the leaves, but you definetly have a wild grape on your hands. If you live in the south it may be a Muscadine Vine which is just a species of Wild grape that grows in the south.

See the picture below of the vine. If you scroll down you will see a man hugging a huge vine.
