Q&A – What is this vine and how can I get rid of it? A: Carolina snailseed

Question:
What is this vine and how can I get rid of it? A: Carolina snailseed
​​
Answer:

This is Caroline snailseed. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says it is called snailseed because the seeds look like small snails. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says it will be a long process that will include digging it up and/or using herbicide. Chris also recommends using a pre-emergent herbicide to keep new seeds from sprouting.
