    Does it have downward-facing prickles along the stem? If so, it is likely Japanese hops (Humulus japonicus).

    yes(?) when i slide my fingers up the stem i can feel them but not going down the stem. Thanks just read up on it and if it is what you think it is ,It is going to be gone very soon!!
