It looks just like any ground ivy ... except it grows upwards to cover everything:
trees, telephone poles, structures, bushes.
And it kills any plant it covers, so you get dead branches under the ivy.

The woody plant in question (Pueraria spp) has deep, thick, tuberous, woody roots for accessing soil moisture and nutrients, building carbon reserves, aiding air and moisture pore space formation, making inaccessible nitrogen available in soluble form for roots' and soil food web members' nutrient uptakes, surviving temperature extremes, sustaining new root, rooted plant and seed production despite drought and fire and taking over territory. Its shoots have high water content against drought, light sensitivity that enables leaves and stems to grow quickly around, by and over other vegetation and toxin tolerance of many chemicals, except glyphosate, picloram and triclopyr.
