Can anyone name this invading vine?

I have had excellent luck posting to a FB group page Plant Identification. You post a picture and where it is located & You usually get responses in minutes.

As for killing it, here is what I've done to kill kudzu and poison ivy, so it should work for this. Make a batch of RoundUp but instead of spraying, you brush it on the leaves and stems with a disposable foam brush OR put on rubber gloves, then cotton gloves over the rubber ones. Then you dip your glives into the RoundUp and wipe them all down the vine. It may take a couple of rounds, but this kills it to the roots.

Round-up has been positively linked to bee deaths. Your plant looks like Morning Glory. Dig up the roots. It will take a little longer but it may save the life of a bee!!!

Why risk using the chemicals in Roundup, try pouring bleach directly on the weed, or vinegar mixed 1:1 with lemon juice

I don't know the official name, but have heard it called bine weed all my life. DO NOT try to pull it as where ever it snaps underground, it will produce more plants. Also, any part of it that hits the ground will root. We always cut it with scissors just above the ground but below the leaves & put into the trash bag right away. you have to be carful digging the ground as every bit of 'root' will start new ones.

Trouble with the bleach is it will poison the soil. I have tried the vinegar and lemon juice but I think that Morning Glory plants will just laugh at this. They are tough plants!!!!

Look like sweet potato leaves or if the stem hollow inside its water spinach. The more you cut the more it will sprout. very healthy. Ask any asian neighbors

Looks like morning glory. Unless you pull it with the roots, it will take over everything!!

Having trouble seeing the leaves in samples pulled. In one picture I do see "Creeping Charlie" beside what was pulled. Leaves of that plant are round to oval with a scalloped edge. It was imported for use as a ground cover, which it is very effective at being, especially with Spring & early Fall moisture. It is difficult to eradicate as the roots spread under the soil surface and usually break when pulling up, unless soil is very soft and loose, like when growing in mulch. If any part of the plant is left on soil surface, this plant will re-root itself, even if appears to be drying up. DONT PUT IN COMPOST, or add grass clippings that include this weed to your mulch pile unless clippings are 100% dried first and mulch gets really hot to cook weed. I'd use vinegar & salt brine to kill on walkways, pavers, garden borders, then watch & weed diligently as it creeps into beds. Another picture seemed to show a spade-like leaf of Wild Morning Glory. I've seen this vineyard weed grow 12" in a day! Leaves are lime green to grass green. Vines usually twine around other plants in a circular pattern, almost throttling them. There can be multiple vines coming from one root system, It is tricky to dislodge from host plant, but necessary to reduce population so doesn't become a matted mess. Vine will eventually get a small trumpet shaped flower resembling petunia or genuine morning glory, in white to pale pink, about 1-1 1/2" diameter. Seeds can shoot many, many feet, so DONT LET FLOWERS GO TO SEED!! Also the seeds can live for like 50 years, so if you have this weed it is a long term project to get rid of! Again, any leaves or stems or roots left in or on soil well start new plants too! The roundup treatment will kill what's growing, along with everything around it, but won't prevent new shoots from long dormant seeds. I took care to amend soil well, to pull out long tap roots as soon as I saw plants emerge, and checked beds every day or two. If I missed one and found it twining around another plant, I'd follow down to find root, pull root up an break roots away from plant, leaving the stem & leaves so as to not damage host plant, but preventing weed from maturing to produce seed. A neighbor told of turning over garden bed several times a year, pulling out vines and root for near a decade until the area was significantly reduced of this pretty, but invasive, weed.

Looks an awful lot like bindweed, absolutely a gardeners' nightmare.

See if you don't find this informative: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/node/1018

Poor boiling water directly on the plant in question, attempting to hit the stem as it goes down to the root. It may take repeated effort but it will kill the plants immediately. Be sure to put the dead plants out for garbage pickup and not use it in compost. Please whatever you do, no Roundup. It's poisonous to whatever it comes in contact with...ask an organic farmer.

Came from England originally but very invasive. Saw some in Birginia, almost covered whole houses and barns

Virginia that is

I am not familiar with Pa weeds...I'm in Utah and ours are tough enough. Perhaps you could call your local college extension dept (not sure what they call them), call the local university and ask who knows about weed control. Hope you have luck with that.

100% morning glory, willing to get a purple one at that,I'm actually in love with this"weed"lol I find them to be beautiful ad long as it does not choke off other plants of yours, the vine will strangle plant near it because is so evasive and aggressive spreader. After the flower falls there is a pod of 4-6 seeds that dry out and drop in return following year your yard has now thousands of new seeds dropped ready to sprout more and more morning glory vines. I built a trellis just for this vine due to the beauty it holds when it blumes.

Hi,

Bindweed, small flower or large flower, both have a bell shape. Yo can never eradicate it because the root goes on for miles.
