It starts off on a small stem, but is a rampant climber, though less
aggressive than Boston Ivy. It is not a tree.


Ah, then it's definitely not that as it's grown about 8 inches in 2

Your new photos make me even more certain that it is parthenocissus.
The leaf joints are right. Mine was like yours, in a pot for a couple
