OMG, I know what that is! It is Bittersweet vine! I spend hours cutting it off my Lilacs, my arbor and the side of my house! I had to cut it down, paint the end of the cut with the strongest roundup I could find and go back 2 or 3 times to see what survived and do it again. I made a dent near the house but the Lilacs never got the roundup treatment and are already covered again 6 weeks later! Getting rid of that stuff can be full time job, get rid of it as soon as possible. Pulling up doesn't work, the roots break off and what is left grows new shoots 2 feet away. It gets red berries, the birds eat them and then deposit them in new places all over the property. Arrrrgggghhhh!
