The real problem with this vine is that no one in the South bothers to look up its origins and uses. I have a book on that subject. Uses include; food for humans, silage (food for animals), fiber for textiles, and many medicinal uses. According to what I have seen and these pictures, it could be purposefuly planted around a building to act as a natural radient barrier. Enough uses?
