  • Question

    Can you help with the identification of a vine? I found it growing at a forest edge in Farmingdale, NY (my apologies if the plant is not found in the northeast).

    Answer

    Dear Zac, the plant you have photographed reminds me of Cichorium intybus (chicory), a common field and roadside weed in the northeastern United States. You should be able to find open, blue flower heads to support this identification.
