Vossner,

How long have you had yours planted? I got mine from the KYRU last September. 2 leaves have turned into about 25-30 now and are 5 feet tall. Yes they are creepers, but since I need my rootbeers to make shade for some of my smaller shade plants, this is okay with me.

I pull out the little ones that creep around the shade garden, just have to be careful I don't pull any EE's by accident. Many look similar when they are babies. I also snap off many of the lower leaf stems now to keep the plants like a canopy.
