The vine which appears in this photo has grown all the way down a 30-foot fence in no time. It seems to re-root itself wherever it drops a branch near the ground and is incredibly aggressive. It might even be sending runners up in other places. What is vine in this photo? Sorry, all I have to show is leaves. I don't recall whether it has ever bloomed or not.

 Thank you. I look forward to your identification answers.

I have that here too, but it's not as aggressive as potato vine.  On both I just rip it out and keep an eye on the last root locations.  A good spritz of glyphosate kills the resprouts if it pops back up.  It'll take over fast if you don't spot it early, and can be a pain to kill off all the individual root spots.

If you are able to, keep it isolated to a single area or tree.  It can give nice fall color and is an important wildlife food.  Just cut it back every winter to 3'-5' tall.
