I've got this vine which has starting getting out of hand in my yard. Last
year I saw a few stray strands of it growing among the Vinca but this spring
it seems to have taken off and looks like it might overtake and smother the
English Ivy in the woods! A picture and description appears at

Appreciate any help you might offer.

Are you sure it's not English Ivy? The leaves change shape when the plant
matures; I've seen it before but I don't remember what the adult form looks
like. The normal "ivy shape" is the juvenile form.

Could it be poison ivy? (I've been away from the South too long; I can't
believe I can't remember this stuff.) No..., I think it's just adult
English ivy.
