Mystery Vine

Mystery Vine
Late last summer this vine started growing in the stream bottom and this year its back with a vengeance. It grows over top of and shades it out everything in sunny areas.
It has small thorns that point back down the stems and is getting small green berries.
Any ideas ?

Wrong leaf for kudzu, but awfully familiar.  Back to the books.

Thanks for the reply.
Found this site on Kudzu/       http://www.jjanthony.com/kudzu/
My leafs are more triangle shaped and I haven’t seen any purple flowers.
From a distance though it sure has the same form.

Here is another vine that showed up about 8 or 10 years ago.
I think I know what this one is

I see that Sprucebunny made a post on bindweed. Could that be the vine in the first picture on this thread?

Looks to me like the first one is common bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis.  The second one looks like grape on leaves, but maybe not on flowers.  Have any more pictures of it, especially of the stem and flowers?

No the first one is only up to the point where there are single leaves so far and the second hasn’t come up at all. I will take some more pictures when the plants start growing.
I need to get rid of the bindweed. It over shadows and kills everything. And the thorns make it hard to pull out. ::)

Regarding the second one: At first glance I was thinking wild cucumber, but the leaves indicate a Rubus species to me.

Might even be a grape species Vitis

Ernie,

I think it's got a choke hold on the mailbox. Bad attempt at humour. ;)

Was talking to someone from DNR and they thought that the first vine might be
Mile a Minute Weed
http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/pope1.htm

One good thing about it is it seem to be able to grow over Multifloral
Rose and shade it out.

Oh, I've never seen mile-a-minute, but from the pictures your DNR guy could be right.  This is a really nasty plant. It can overwhelm and kill other plants. It is found in Pennsylvania. You may want to talk to your DNR contact about eradicating it.

Thought I would bring this thread back up and see if anyone has a positive ID on these vines.

I have a herbaceous vine that grows every year in the flower beds. It has triangle leaves and white flowers. It's called morning glory. It's not a woody vine.

Definitely Mile-a-Minute weed.  Nasty invasive.
