In addition to spreading by suckers (which stain or take the paint off any painted surface), it turns woody and goes through the crevices in any wall. The woody vine-branches can get over 1/2 inch thick requiring a lopper to cut back. It exudes a sticky sap which likes to muck up my pruning shears. The leaves do make a great addition to my mulch pile. When I asked my local nurseryman when to prune he grinned and said "Butcher it anytime!" This is a classic case of an invasive plant that does its job too well. [Rating]
