Hi all,

Please can somebody tell me what this climber is. Bought a house and
discovered this growing up to fantastic heights in trees and bushes.
Looks like some sort of clematis judging by the leaf. As it is October,
looks like it's the seed heads which are in the photos. Didn't know
clematis would grow this way.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Well its definitely a Clematis! probably Clematis vitalba, a UK native
sometimes called "Old Mans Beard" can be invasive, but can be hacked back
each year to keep it under control if you happen to like it.
