Default Help Identify a Rampant Mystery Vine?

Thanks to Pat and JNJ. Using your information I did some searching online
for this particular plant and found that many of the leaves illustrated
didn't match very well. Then I hit upon
http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrol.../efortunei.htm in which

the
leaf picture could well have been taken in my own yard.


I had to do some looking as well -- yours is slightly different from mine
but pretty close.

Guess I'll have to figure out now what to do with them -- do I let them

run wild,
transplant some and kill (or attempt to kill) the rest, or just attack

them all. It is
actually a rather pretty plant but too much of a good thing is not so

good.

Like I said, this one can get invasive so caveat emptor. Here it just
appeared out of nowhere a couple of years back and it's now everywhere. The
trees do not seem to mind very much and it does look nice in the fence IMHO
but the jury's still out.
