Just wondering what this vine is climbing on my porch? I'm thinking a greenbrier vine maybe? Not sure. I'm in North Georgia.
Thanks!

Welcome ocraig.
The leaves remind me of Smilax sp. However, there are over 300 species so you may have to find our which ones grow in North Georgia.
I was not familiar with the name green briar vine, but I have now learnt that it is the common name for Smilax!
Have a look at this link, it shows details that you can compare to your vine. Does yours have thorns?

Thanks Silver..
Yes, it has thorns. Pretty sure it's in that family you mentioned. Greenbriar vine is just a common name in the south for those.
Thanks again.
