Invasive vine #875031

Asked June 27, 2024, 6:55 PM EDT

We live in the SW Corner of Andover and have a 15ft Mugo Pine that annually gets this vine throughout. What is it? And, is there a way to eradicate it?? You guys are the best - Thanks

Hi John,

I can't quite tell what that is ...

https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/virginia-creeper-parthenocissus-quinquefolia/#:~:text=The%20new%20leaves%20are%20bronze,may%20have%20only%20three%20leaflets.

It looks like your vine has four leaves, not five.

If neither of these links answers your question, send me a few more photos with the leaves laying flat and one of the stem coming out of the ground.
