Do you mean ipomoea, calystegia or convolvulus arvensis, or a
combination of all three? (morning glory, false bindweed, field
bindweed)(know your enemy))

We have all three but we -like- morning glories.

It seems to me that you put too fine a point on it: All are Convolvulaceae.
The differences among them are purely academic. All have the same invasive
growth habit. I don't believe most people can or do distinguish among them. I
can't speak for anyone else but I certainly make no distinction when pulling the
seedlings. Many (if not most), including some morning glories, are classified as
invasive noxious weeds by USDA and among the states and for good reason. Some of
us do not "like" morning glories.

Maybe so, but arvensis, is a tough persistent perennial and the worst of
the lot in our zone 5 climate. It's the weed we work hardest on.

I figure that if you don't know the enemy you wind up in one kind of
trouble or another either working too hard or not hard enough.
