Could you please help identify this vine?
http://tinyurl.com/qhm3zx
seem to have hjust appeared in last month or so. one at bottpom of
large hedge and trying to grow in to the hedge. It's grwon to about 7
ffot but i have traced it back to two roots and have pulled it away
from hedge for now. The tendrils are really cool they reach out in to
nowhere for about a foot and when they grab a branch or somthing they
start the curly wurly thing
Just noticed another trying to grow in to a 3oft conifer!
Neighbour thinks its a grape but i dont.

Tha's the one thanks guys
Is it ok to keep it without it being too invasive, and is it any good
to wildlife?

I don't think it's particularly invasive, and it's a UK native. If it
were me, I'd keep it, and only get rid of it if it were being a
nuisance. It's in the same family as cucumber ;-)
You'll only get berries if you have both a male and a female plant

I see it dies off each year as well so maybe I'll see how it goes this
year.
