vining weed identification and help
while cleaning up the landscaping in the front lawn earlier this year I noticed a creeping vine growing up my crepe myrtle. I removed it and attested to dig up as much of the root as possible I'm now having this weed pop up in different parts of my yard. I pull up new sprouts as soon as I find them and attempt to dig up roots which is difficult because it's growing among my shrubs. Anyone have any idea what this weed is?? The next step I'm considering is to use a brush and basically paint some roundup on the leves of the new sprouts as they come up. I would appreciate any other ideas or additional advice on how to get ride of it.

Comments (5)Hi. Thank you for your response. The weed in my yard never flowers and the leaves keep the oval-like shape. The polemonium looks like it flowers and the leaves are more pointed....See MoreOhio vine weed - Identification help!!!

Comments (6)The first one needs more than a single flower, I think. Can you add leaf and vine and flower cluster photos? Trumpet vine is possible as is the related crossvine, I think, but see the link below to get more expert eyeballs on the problem. Second one definitely isn't poison ivy (I have lots of experience with it!), and actually looks more shrub-like than vine-like to me, but I have little expertise in southern plants. A great place to get plants IDed is on Garden Web's Name that Plant forum, which gets more traffic than this forum....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK

7 years agoTiffany, I think that's it! I just found this pic of ampelopsis arborea online.
That looks a lot like the first pic to me. Thank you!! I'm glad to at least know what I'm dealing with. Unfortunately I have no idea where it came from.
