I vote for Virginia Creeper. Upon close examination of your photo, it looks
to have segments like a vine does. I have one that grows up my very large
oak tree in my backyard in NE AL. It's never been a problem and never has
gotten very far up the tree but does return every year.

Recently I pulled up (legally) a seedling tree in the back yard of William
Faulkner's home in Oxford Mississippi.

I coaxed it to grow in a pot and now have some questions. Please look at
the photo at the following site, and give me guidance.

Thanks to all for any help
