Some type of vine

[Nemi]

This is a vine but I don't know what it is. I'm thinking I need to pull this up. .

It is virginia creeper. It is a nice native vine. It will grow on a fence or trellis if you want it to, but it will also just spread on the ground as a ground cover. Flowers are kind of inconspicuous, but it gets berries that birds like and then it puts on a nice show of fall foliage color.

I agree with rainbowgardener. I have lots of virginia creeper in my woods where it is always a rich dark green. But see how pretty it gets when it has full sun in the fall.

Wow! Love the color - very nice. I have some growing near my backyard fence. I think it would be nice to have it grow on the fence as well.

Yep, Virginia Creeper. I've got some I planted on my back fence.

Advantages -- fast growing, good cover, fantastic fall color, easy to grow on fences etc needing cover

Disadvantages - no leaves in winter, just the naked vines. Also tends to spread so you gotta manage it if you don't want it running all over as the seasons go on.

I like creeper. It's a good alternative to Boson Ivy here in the midwest. Cheers.

Thanks - I have some beginning to grow on my fence. I'm looking forward to the colorful display.

Just be careful, it is VERY allergenic.

Beware! With your location, similar to mine in temps, can be the vine from he-l. Meaning it likes itself, alot. I am at low battle with one I thought to encourage, smarty pants turned dumb pants here. I haven't used R-Up, but tempted.
