Took this photo today from my dinning room, I just stopped mowing it back a few weeks ago, good thing I don't go on vacation, it'd swallow the house, Ed

Lovely!

Does it root along the ground where it creeps?

Hi Jude, no it doesn't even have tendrils, like a Grape vine, but it winds around stuff like a Boa Constrictor, Ed

Nice Is the "trunk" woody? By the looks of it, I bet it's old and gnarled, like an old grape or wisteria?

I always enjoy your updates.

Hi Jude, No, it's several plants, 3 years old in March, or April, below 27 or so for any length of time kills it down to the roots, these germinated from seeds that have been in the ground over 4 years, Ed
