Can anyone identify this vine type plant please, it's growing like wildfire in my neighbours wilderness and seeds prolifically all over the place

    Could be white bryony

    Aah thank you very much K67 looks like you have the answer

    Pretty sure it’s Bryony.  Some call it a weed and it’s certainly too rampant for me but I have a friend who lets it grow at will. It is pretty though

    Too rampant for me as well. I spend a lot of time stopping it growing through next door neighbour's hedge and up my holly tree  :(

    It is pretty and I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so rampant .. it is literally all over my garden and seems to appear like magic overnight ..I'd assumed it was a weed but was interested to know exactly what it was called. I live next to an old railway cutting and my neighbours garden is left to run wild so I guess I'll be pulling it up for many years to come  :D

    It is very rampant ... I think there are few 'normal' sized gardens that can cope with it as it swamps other plants.    When removing it you need to ensure you get out the whole tuber which can be quite large.

    It is also toxic ... in some cases seriiously so
