A horrible invasive weed here in Eastern Kansas and much of the rest of the Eastern USA. It's completely smothering some woodlands here and will climb up, over, and kill just about anything with time. It's very difficult to get rid of too, because small root fragments left after pulling will push up more foliage and it's very resistant to some common herbicides.

I ended up getting rid of both of mine because the scales were just too much and were spreading to other plants. Since I've gotten rid of them, there's no sign of scales.
