Pure, insidious, seething evil. Destroy. This is one of two common bindweeds in Philadelphia. the other being hedge bindweed, which can be differentiated by its more pointed leaves. They are both evil, forget identification and destroy it wherever it rears its head. Be careful to properly dispose of the cut vines, as they will root and regrow at any given chance, do not compost it.
