was a weird lookin hedge like shrub that spouted up thru the top in strait small narrow plants....10ft high by probably 4 ft wide maybe 6ft in some spots.

had little orange flowers that look like trumpets.....flowered on the fence side at about 4 ft.....

homeowner said she thought was somesort of honesuckle??????

hope im makin sense because id prefer to suit up or stay away next time....

looks like poison oak....stung like no-seeums....and later like battery acid....
 
Hmm... I had some guys on a crew complain that trumpet creeper irritated their skin. I just blew them off thinking that it didn't cause a rash or they got into some poison ivy or something that was tangled up with that vine. I read up on it and it does say that it causes irritation. I guess I owe them an apology.:bowdown:
 
Trumpet vine

nasty stuff....although my ground man didnt get any,and he cleaned it up.I just cut it......
 
I am ridding my backyard of some of that vine presently, and although I hate it with a passion, I have not had any reaction to it...
