Yes, Ampelopsis brevipedunculata is highly invasive and (unfortunately)
really beautiful. Birds eat the berries when they're really hungry, in my
experience-- of course that just spreads the vine even more.

On Thanksgiving for the first time I saw the house that my son and
daughter in
law bought. (Brick craftsman style and I love it.) On the outside of the
big
porch there are climbing vines with bright blue berries. You would almost
call
them turquoise. He says that in the summer the vines get very agressive
and
would take over the porch if he let them. This is in Dayton, Ohio. Can
anyone
give a guess as to what plant this is? I wonder if the birds eat the
berries.
My only guess is maybe a porcelain berry vine but the one that I have
certainly
isn't agressive.
