| It's very close to one of the variations of Morus rubra .. http://www.discoverlife.org/mp... http://sfrc.ufl.edu/4h/RedMulb... So I would say it's in Moraceae but that's probably wrong if it's a vine. |

Broussonetia papyrifera looks close, is it possible it's going to grow into something else like a tree?  http://www.namethatplant.net/p... |

I think you are right, Janet, Morus rubra. It grows wild here and that is what the young leaves look like.  May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

| I think Janet got it right the second time with Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera). It often gives the appearance of being a vine when it is young. |

Tricky blighters aren't they! Thanks Christine, they are very similar.  Thanks for that Kent, I thought Broussonetia papyrifera fitted the bill so it's good to know it does start out looking like a vine. |
