Anyone know what these vines are growing wild in Texas? A. ![]() B. ![]() Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |

The second one is a berry vine of some type. Do you see any flowers on the first? They may be hidden under the foliage. Looking for them in the morning is usually the best time, in case it's an Ipomoea. ๐๐๐ - SMILE! -โบ๐โปโฎ๐โโโฏ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฏ๐พ The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. ๐๐๐ฃ๐ก๐๐๐พ๐ฟ๐โฆโง ๐๐๐๐พ๐ป๐ธ๐ผ๐น๐ฝโโ๐บ โ๐ The only way to succeed is to try. |

No flowers on first vine. Could be a biennial, this is first year![]() The second vine I've always thought was a berry vine, but it never blooms, only gets about 12" around. So, doesn't behave like a berry. I've had it in the same spots 8 years, and it comes back every spring Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |

I'd bet on the first one being a morning glory with those heart shaped leaves. You will see flowers soon if you don't yank it. Elaine "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." โWinston Churchill |
The second one is Dewberry (Rubus trivialis) |

I heard you taking about dewberries on a podcast @dave. Aren't I supposed to get some berries? I tried moving the plants to a better berry site 2 years ago, and they died. Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |
I added more photos to the entry. Here you can see the stem with the red thorns: I don't know why you're not getting berries. For us, they grow wild all over the place and the berries are ripe very early in the season, fully a month before the blackberries. |

I don't have any success with dewberries or blackberries. My neighbor (500' away) has no problem with them. So, I've switched to boysenberries. Those do very well in my yard, and seem to double the amount of berries each year. Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |

Don't Yank the first one! It's a matelea of some sort... They're rare... And they're really neat! https://www.google.com/search?... |
If you're having good luck with Boysenberries than I'd say to forget about trying for the dewberries. They are really kind of a junk plant. Nice to have bonus berries early in the spring but they never amount to a lot. The domestic blackberries is where the real action is. ![]() |

dave, just curious how you determined it was Rubus trivialis. There are about 16 species of Rubus in Texas and I have never been able to find a good key to identifying them. wildflowersoftexas.com texasnatureonline.com |

The berry vines that grow wild around here make fruit on 2nd year vines. You have to have a large bramble to harvest much of them. ๐๐๐ - SMILE! -โบ๐โปโฎ๐โโโฏ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฏ๐พ The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. ๐๐๐ฃ๐ก๐๐๐พ๐ฟ๐โฆโง ๐๐๐๐พ๐ป๐ธ๐ผ๐น๐ฝโโ๐บ โ๐ The only way to succeed is to try. |

Thanks everyone. I'll ignore the dewberry, and take care of the milkweed vine. Hopefully, I'll get some interesting flowers Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |
Horntoad said:dave, just curious how you determined it was Rubus trivialis. There are about 16 species of Rubus in Texas and I have never been able to find a good key to identifying them. The red stems with thousands of little tiny hairs were the key I used to determine this was R. trivialis. Then I checked it against the photos here: http://www.wildflower.org/plan... But now that you've asked, doubt is starting to creep in. |
