My nomination for Invasive Plant of the Year: Bittersweet.
Dad thought it would be neat to plant this thing at the
shady end of the old grape arbor where the grapes have
pretty much died out. Dad is gone now, but the bittersweet
had become quite robust, taking over most of the grape
arbor and had migrated over to a power pole and was two
thirds of the way up.

Get it out and replace with a Trumpet Vine. In 2 years you will wish you'd
stayed with what you have!!
