killing vine that has taken over hedge
 

Hello all.

I live in South Florida and have a Hibiscus hedge running down the
sides of my property. Last year I noticed I somehow got some pesty
vine running through, around and on top of the hedge killing some the
trees. In a strange way the vine when trimmed fills the hedge nicely -
but apparently that's only until it completely kills the Hibiscus.

I'm not sure what type of vine it is or how to kill it.

See picture in link:

Any ideas ?

Thanks!

It looks like a wild strawberry (does it produce flowers/berries?).
After a soaking rain, pull it out by the roots. Repeat in 3 months
if needed.

No beeries that I know of. It produces a little yellow flower.

Thanks.

It's hard to tell from the picture but it looks sorta like a hop vine. Does
the flower produce a sort of cone?

They can be a pain-in-the-butt, grow fast in warm climates, and have a very
pungent odor.

Good luck,

Put up a poster showing several flowers as well as leaves. Half a flower head
does't tell me much, except what it probably isn't.

Here's a better (more detailed pic). There are no flowers blosumming
right now, but this runner has a dead flower (in picture - very
large).

Really interested in knowing what this is and how to kill it - it's
somewhat personal now. :{
