    I don't see any bindweed there.

    Maybe this will help. I think you can sleep tonight. If its Himalayan honeysuckle, and in the wrong place, spray it with glyphosate.

    Post some more pics, the whole plant, a selection of leaves and how they join to the stem. Little bits of it don't give an over-all impression of a plant

    so far I can't see JKW, bindweed or, if the last photo is the same as the others, Himalayan Honeysuckle.

    Though I can see the top pic could be Himalayan Honeysuckle. Just need a better view

  • i have read both these articles and just don't know what to do.

    thank you both so much for helping

    more photos is what to do LadyDi, lots of people on this forum are familiar with JKW but it's impossible to ID from those.

    LadyDi there is a distinct possibility it may NOT be JKW. If you can please take some more pictures of the whole plant and post it on here as nutcutlet asks then others can take a look at the plant and try to get a definitive identification. Don't despair yet.

  • Nutculet i have just a couple more photos very similar to number one,i am not at the house at the moment unfortunately.

    i pulled it out and in hindsight i should have took at picture of it roots and all.

    I will need to go back and investigate further i feel

    Once again i thank you all so much for your help

    If you pulled it out roots and all it's not JKW, those roots are in the centre of the earth

    The pictures + as nut says, the ease of removal of plant, roots and all, really does NOT suggest JKW.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

  • I agree - I can't see anything that looks like JKW in any of those photos.
