Vine I Can't Identify
There's a vine in my yard that I'm trying to identify and I've had no luck so far. Here are two pictures of a section of it: http://tinyurl.com/3uhfu http://tinyurl.com/4m4u3 We just moved into our home last year; prior to that the yard had, for several years, been almost completely unattended. We're in no great rush to change that, but as we put in garden beds and flower beds, we find more and more of this stuff. You can yank one end and pull yards upon yards of it at a time without ever getting to a root - the stem breaks well before you find the source. That we are both ignorant of it doesn't make it special, it just means we're ignorant and we have no idea whether it's a good plant, a bad plant or a neutral plant. For now we pull it wherever we need to clear space for something else - where the berry bushes have gone, where the vegetable beds have gone, etc. Getting it out of the way, though, fails to satisfy that strongest of curiosities for us both: the question of what, exactly, is it? Thank you! Michael Durham, NC |

Looks like the white/yellow type of honeysuckle. -- Chris Dukes Suspicion breeds confidence -- Brazil |

The flowers are nice, but it is an invasive exotic that spreads rampantly (both by runners and by seed), smothering trees and shrubs and pretty much taking over the area. -- Steve |
