It is sneaky too, I have a big pot of it on a frame and it snuck out the back with such long runners when I wasn't looking. Not one runner from the front where I would have seen it. I died when I saw they had rooted all along the fence. I was ruthless getting rid of it ASAP. I have seen it take over houses in a season. Never trust it.

There is a house in Niles, Ca where it covered an entire house about 10 years ago. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

This pic is from San Leandro where it covered everything in its path for about 2 miles. It is an incredible sight but so scary.
