Hi there, wondering if someone can id this ??vine??
I have a chainlink fence that I'd like to cover up with some sort of climbing vine. I was thinking cats claw, but this one is already growing on part of the fence and was wondering if I could plant these seed pods and/or clippings? and if so, what sort of growth rate could be expected from this plant?
Thanks,
Chris

Yep, it's cat's claw...I had one that was about 20 feet long growing on a chain link for years. And no, you won't get rid of it!
I tend to prefer hardenbergia; you'll get fuller, faster coverage, mine grew to about 30 feet in half the time the cat's claw did!

It's also a little easier to get rid of if necessary, but not by much, lol.
