Name That Plant!

Can't anyone I'd this vine please?

4 years ago

So it's not the greatest pic but this vine is growing up into a hydrangea tree. Would like to possibly move it somewhere, or just yank it if it's invasive. I first saw it last fall but it was not nearly this big so I would say slow to start. The old part from last year is a bit woody this spring. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Rhodochiton astrosanguineum from Mexico, easy enough from seed, only perennial in warmer zone 9b/10a climates, can be brought inside for winter if you have good light. I grow this in gardens here in the SF Bay Area where it doesn't freeze.

This sounds like Coral Vine or Queen's Wreath. I produces sprays of either light pink or deep rose flowers during the warm months, however it is deciduous. Take a look at the link below to be sure. Anyone else have ideas? Here is a link that might be useful: Coral Vine or Queen's Wreath

I've been searching tropical/subtropical fruit on the web some more and was wondering if anyone thinks this could be Chayote? Not exactly like photos I've found but who knows, description is similar. Thanks Again.

Here's another photo. It's not Chilean Glory or Canary Creeper. I'll ask on the Name That Plant forum too. Cuttings are available for trade, no problem. I just would need to trade soon, before any freezes and prior to the holiday rush madness at the post office! ;-)

Highly invasive in many areas. Can girdle and kill young trees and shrubs . Roots are orange.

Yikes! Will get rid of this immediately. I found another one today in my front garden. Considering we have a wooded bird refuge behind my house that is alarming. Thank you!

Birds love bittersweet. I live in Iowa and it used to grow on many road side fences on the south side of the fence....but since the counties have taken to wholesale spraying the ditches it hs all but disappeared....along with the milk weed and the butterflies....and the roadside bonus of wild asparagus.
You might consider leaving the bittersweet in the bird refuge.

Is this Oriental or the native? May be inconclusive without seeing the flowers/berries.

Please don’t consider leaving it because there is no control over how far the birds can spread it. You might want to talk to the refuge managers about getting together work crews to remove it.
