Oh Shirley, good luck.

Trumpet Vine is one of my favorite even though it is so invasive. I have wonderful childhood memories of them and still love them. There was a home in the older part of town here that had a trumpet vine growing up the tree. The tree was old and diseased so they cut it down but left the trunk about 7 feet tall. Over the years the trumpet vine had climbed the trunk of the tree and made a beautiful canopy. I love driving down that street in the summer when it's in bloom. I wish I had a pic of it!

Here is what is in my backyard.....and they come up everywhere!!! I just pull them out of the ground and go on!
