As some of you recall, last week I posted asking about a plant. It turned out to be Virginia Creeper. Now this one is growing with it. What kind of vine might this be? Thanks!

Haha, Calvin.
I would never guess that to be a grape vine. Now that you mention it, there are some grape vines on properties less than 1/4 mile from my house AND there are a lot of power lines directly above this picture!Frank ~ zone 7a VAComment

Thanks guys.
That's what I remember too, Kevin, but just wanted to make sure this wasn't an odd ball.

All you need is some Autumn Clematis and you'll have the aggressive/invasive vine trifecta!Comment

I've had to deal with Virginia Creeper and wild grapes in my yard, but the porcelain berry vines take the cake on the aggressive weed which has caused me the most grief.Johnny

I generally try to avoid using Roundup, but porcelain berry is a notable exception. Since my neighbors don't control it growing in their yard, I simply can't keep up with it with its crazy growth rate and massive root system. There were some large specimens by the time I got around to identifying these evil weeds and deciding to do something about them. I walked around our fence and property lines with a drill and a bottle of roundup. I drilled holes into the base of the stem and sprayed in Roundup to kill those bad boys.
