Can anyone help identify a creeping, strangulating weed we have? It
is
totally entwined around rhododendrons and other bushes, and is VERY
resistant to eradicating. Maybe if I knew what I was dealing with I
could
try a more scientific approach than hacking at the damned thing G

Thanks for any pointers.

Can grow with weedlike proportions thought ! Ours got into the
