what the heck is this called ???

[mowjoeman]

I live in Fl. On the West Central Gulf side, I realize late in the season you'll see this growing all over everything! I have only heard it called STINK VINE ?? it has small berries on it, and as it grows it literally will choke the life out of whatever it can manage to reach! It eventually will kill everything it comes in contact with and usually within seemingly know time at all! I have taken alot of this vine out by hand thinking that I wouldn't see it again this season but to my surprise only a few weeks later it was back with a vengence!!! can somebody help me and tell me what this vine is that i'm talking about and how to kill it? A local tree guy told me that he used a rediculous amount of round up along 1000 yds of this vine along a curve on a popular county rd, he said that it didn't even brown the vine, that it didn't affect this vine what so ever, another worker of his said that he knows of nothing that will kill this vine. I don't think this is the case, can anyone help me here, and tell me where I can get whatever I need to kill this here locally without going out of my way? I'm going to suggest this to my customer, and I want it to be done right as we live close to a river and God Knows we have enough going on here, Thanks In advance. - Joe
