Help identifying plant

[SingingBabooshkaBadly]

Can anyone identify this please? It’s growing through a tree in our garden.

DH says bindweed but we had that in our previous garden and I know it has very distinctive heart shaped leaves.

Hoping someone with more gardening knowledge can help.

Oh dear, unlikely you can identify it without a picture, no matter how expert you are

That's Virginia creeper. Beautiful in Autumn. Train it to go up a wall or fence.

I think it’s a Virginia creeper. Rampant!

russian vine?

Kate Bush!!

It's absolutely stunning in Autumn. It dies back in winter but emerges beautifully in Spring, I should add.

Ah, that makes sense, thank you all! This will be our second autumn in the house and I remember now we had Virginia Creeper along that wall last year. I didn’t remember it growing through the tree.

It did look beautiful last year. Unfortunately DH proudly announced he’d ‘just ripped out a load of bindweed’ 🙄🙄🙄. The deed was done before I had a chance to stop him...

I suppose at least it’s rampant enough to grow back...

If the main root/s is/are still there, it'll come back. Did he pull up the roots?

If he did, you can fish the main root out of the bin and stick it back in the soil with some decent compost.

Hmm... good point @TheVanguardSix. Thanks for mentioning this. I’ll go and look.
