Comments:
Climbs on walls made of almost any material. Its aerial rootlets cling firmly to surfaces and leave very visible traces when the vine is removed. It may conceal the presence of termites, wood rot or structural problems. It can grow to great height and spread many feet, depending of supporting structure. Tolerant of dry soils.
