Madeira vine how to forage

Madeira vine, the edible menace
Madeira vine is a weed of biblical proportions. It is also edible and medicinal.
This rampant climber is a serious pest. It grows to biblical proportions scrambling over bushes and even climbs trees up to 20 meters tall, and because it is heavy and prolific, it eventually brings them down.
Madeira vine is heavily legislated against as it proliferates in disrupted native vegetation where it smothers and kills plants from ground covers to tall trees. The Biosecurity Act 2015 has a lot to say about this plant and depending on where you live, it prohibits the sale and dispersal of it.
There have been various attempts at controlling this rampant weed, including introducing leaf cutters (which are little bugs that love to eat it) as biological control. I think we should take note of these little creatures and chomp on the leaves ourselves too!

To kill a madeira vine, scuff the surface of shoots and leaves and immediately spray with a glyphosate poison as they reseal after only twenty seconds. Took me years of fighting this tenacious invader to learn this.
