+NYPaddleCacher Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Virginia creeper I hate the stuff. I have to pull up lots of it every spring. I grows like wildfire and even though I try to keep it at bay I have a neighbor that rarely uses their back yard and much of it originates from there. Quote Link to comment

+DragonsWest Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 My parents had it crawling up the side of the garage. I thought it looked nice, but they worried it would tear down the siding, get under the siding and stain the siding. Otherwise it makes great cover for small hanging camo. Quote Link to comment

Motorcycle_Mama Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 AKA Woodbine Actually, Woodbine is a different species. Sometimes called "False Virginia Creeper". Quote Link to comment
+TheLoneWanderer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 AKA Woodbine Actually, Woodbine is a different species. Sometimes called "False Virginia Creeper". So there's Virginia Creeper, which is mistaken for Poison Ivy, and Woodbine, which is mistaken for Virginia Creeper... Is there any plant that's mistaken for Woodbine? Quote Link to comment
