Guidelines for use of Early Detection Observation Reporting FormPlease use this online form to report the suspected presence of mile-a-minute vine in Connecticut. You can submit your observations by using the web version of this form (available by clicking the button below) or by sending email to mileaminute(a)uconn.edu. Please do not submit your data using both methods—your observations and reports will be added to our database either way. Although we cannot always respond personally to every report we receive, someone from the University of Connecticut or the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection may contact you at the e-mail address or phone number you provide to discuss your observation in greater detail. Thank you for submitting your observation.
Similar Species GuideMile-a-minute vines are easily distinguished from other vining plants by their triangular leaves, distinctive prickles or barbs, and large, obvious ocrea (see species identification page for photos of these traits). Other plants, particularly other vines, may be confused with mile-a-minute. Please use the guide below to help identify other vines which are generally native, non-invasive species. For advice and information on how to manage these plants in your garden or yard, contact UConn’s Home and Garden Center or your local County Master Gardener’s Program.
