If the mother plant is against the fence, sounds to me as if it would look tidier to dig up the sucker. You could replant it closer to the fence, or give it to someone who would like a start of the vine.

Thanks! I didn't know I could dig it up. I have a couple hundred feet of chain link to cover, so that's what I'll do. I've already taken a clip from one of the vines last year and potted it to see if I could get it to grow and it did, so I'll be planting it in a couple weeks when it gets going really strong.

Now I know what to do too! ThanksPJ
