Question
What is this plant? Southeast Wisconsin, vining up tree maybe 20 ft. Heart shaped leaves.
Answer
Dear JKyle, your images appear to be of Smilax herbacea (carrion-flower). This is an herbaceous, unarmed species of the genus. Whereas most species in this genus are woody (i.e., lianas), this species is herbaceous (a vine) and will die back to the ground each fall.
