I think someone already answered... if not, I believe they are
scuppernong vines. Produces non-clustering grapes in the fall.

(or

ground and

end in

out of

We had (have) so much wisteria, we found an even easier version.
We took paper towels, soaked them with Round Up, wrapped them
around the stump, wrapped the stump in saran wrap. The whole
stump broke up in 6 months.

It's a shame, imho, that we need to use these "weapons of vine
destruction" on wisteria. I can think of nothing more beautiful or
spring-y than the purple pangdangles of wisteria flowers.

Sorta' tugs at your heart when you see newly transplanted northerners
at the garden center with a big pot of wisteria in their cart. I've
always thought some plants should come with warning labels.
