Identifying Yellow Passionvine (Passiflora lutea): A Common Weedy Vine

I have a thin, non-woody vine with ivy-like leaves, small green passionflower-type blooms, and round fruit between pea and cherry size growing over an azalea. What is it?

Identification: Yellow Passionvine

It's Passiflora lutea, yellow passionvine. Flowers are modestly attractive, but it's considered a weed. The fruit ripens to blue-black, releasing many seeds. Roots are winter-hardy.

Control

Since it grows among desirable plants, avoid herbicides. Hand-pull whenever spotted, and dig out roots if accessible. Persistence is key.
