Unidentified Vine (IL)

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: Amy Joy Tofte City: Downs, IL
Hello, I have an unidentified woody vine that is growing on my trees. It's leaves are dark green, alternate, odd-pinnately compound with 11 leaflets on each. The leaflets are ovate/elliptical, smooth edges with caudate apices, arcuate venation. It has tendrils that attach it to itself and nearby trees. At present (Aug 29th) it has green seed pods with 4-7 green seeds. Do you have any idea what type of woody vine this might be? Is it invasive? Thank You. I appreciate your help. I've been pouring over field guides but have not yet discovered what it is. Sincerely, Amy Joy Tofte
