Notes:
A FB acquaintance desires to identify this vine that she said is invasive and in her neighbor’s yard in NY; it produces large star-shaped ‘fruit’ or ‘pods’ with cactus-like prickles on them. I have searched online everywhere and cannot find anything like it! Can you help me help her? Thanks!

I have this in my yard and have no idea what it is. When I try to look it up all that comes up is wild Cucumber but that isn’t a star shape.

I found this on a pine tree in Omaha Nebraska. Metrosideros?
