Yes it is aggressive, I used to have one climbing on a white wrought iron trellis in full sun in the front border, it smothered the trellis, couldnÂt see the trellis at all, as well it drifted into the flower gardens. Yes you can control prune it but you'll need to do this at least every week once it matures. I found the leaves get somewhat tattered and sunburned in full sun later in the season, but the hanging hops are beautiful.

I had to RoundUp it several times to kill than dang thing, took a couple of years. I did though before I killed it, dug a little piece out and planted it on the north side of the house running up an old television antenna, it doesnÂt get sunburned, although it stays more green than lime green in the shade, its also not as aggressive ;)

Thanks Sharon, that helps me decide where to place it (or maybe just keep in a pot for now).

Wow! It is aggressive. It took up into my neighbour's tree and practically covered it. Took me three years to get rid of the suckers. Make sure you have lots of room!

Wow, you guys are scaring me, lol. It seems so innocent looking in it's one-gallon pot. Maybe I'll just keep it in the pot for now and have to seriously think where to plant this, especially as I have a small yard.

Appreciate your input though,

Glen
