Trying to remove the vine by pulling will often cause the plant to detach from its rhizome, allowing the vine to continue to grow new shoots. Seed pods must be disposed of carefully, to avoid inadvertently spreading the seeds to new areas.
Though that light is not necessarily required, it does produce the best outcome. Typically this invasive species is found in dense vegetation, which allows it to rapidly grow with its multiembryonic seeds. Since this invasive species is a vine, it grows best when it attaches to other plants and uses it as a support beam. [1]
The identification and measurement of accelerated growth of particularly dangerous invasives has long been a subject of scientific study and data collection; the far ranging impact of invasive species spurred former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo to allocate millions in funding to eradicate them. According to NYS Assembly Member Steve ...
This invasive vine has taken over a fence and is now spreading across the ground. Immature flower buds often form fat half-crescents but, unlike the corkscrew vine, these buds are green, yellow, or brown. This plant might be more susceptible to aphids but is definitely invasive and has been compared by multiple growers to kudzu. Rapid growth ...
