Question
Hello! I tried to figure this out myself using state of CT information but could not. This vine is growing around one of our trees in one area and now off this fence. The leaf groupings are mostly 4 leafs or 5. Leaves are shaped like cylinders. Are you able to help me identify it? We are in the NW corner of CT. Thank you.
Answer
Dear pdc542, you've photographed Akebia quinata (chocolate-vine), a non-native member of the Lardizabalaceae. It is native to eastern Asia and is found here and there in southern New England.
