Found this vine in my garden growing with my clematis. Thought it was wild cuke, but after looking at your website, concluded it is moonseed. Hasn't flowered or seeded yet, but I will watch and see.

I believe this is plentiful as the Sunrise river nears the St. Croix (wooded banks, soil stays coolish). It hitches a ride up other vines if it can, but doesn't seem overly aggressive. I'll try to spot the flowering this spring.

Found some growing on state land down by the river flats around the Fort Snelling area, behind Coldwater Spring.

Have quite a bit in my yard. It's invasive. A pretty vine but only if it wouldn't spread so much and if it weren't supposed to be toxic.

Mary, many native species can be aggressive in a garden setting due at least in part to lack of sufficient competition. Vines can be a particular nuisance and may require continuous management.

I have been trying to id this vine for years. It has come through the fence from the neighbors. It can be very invasive and difficult to manage. It grows very quickly. I also have never seen the flowers but will watch for them.

We've found most native vines to be pretty aggressive in cultivation, where they compete very well with pretty much everything else. Don't feel obligated to keep it around just because it's native.

I've had a small bit of it growing in my yard for a few year., For some reason this year, it just really took off and started taking over my Lily of the Valley and Bleeding Hearts so I've had to cut it back.

Does this vine have a very strong yellow/gold root that runs underground but very shallow? A very invasive vine with exact shaped leaves is running rampant in some bushes and trees on our property.

I've read elsewhere that the roots are yellow

I carefully transplanted some, decades ago. Now.... I can't get rid of it. It merrily grows over everything, including up trees, though I haven't given it the opportunity to see how high it will go.

It's been by my door for the 29 years I've owned my place. Know now not to make jam from the succulent looking ripe berries! I just keep trimming it back and it's not a problem. Looks good too.

There is some of it along fence along the parkway between Franklin & Lake St bridges. There is a large area where it dominates, spreading eastward, at the base of the stairs down from Franklin.

In approximately 1918 my uncle died as a young child. I always assumed it was from the flu pandemic. But recently my aunt, his younger sister, told me it was from eating something they found while playing out in the fields. Another sister was very ill and they didn't expect her to survive the night, but she pulled through. An older brother, who also ate the berries, was not affected. In researching the plants in the area, I'm fairly certain they ingested the grape-like moonseed. A very sad story.

Learned today at a Tribal Relations training class that the yellow roots of this plant are the 'Yellow Medicine' used by the Dakota in the Minnesota River Valley as a skin salve are is the source of the Yellow Medicine place names in western Minnesota.

Just found this growing on the edge of my property. It can compete with the virginia creeper and grape leaves and raspberry.
