Notes:

It resembles myrtle in size and growth but is wrapping around my trees in an area that has been undisturbed for 50 or more years. Do I pull it out? There is also myrtle in this woodland and I’d like to encourage the myrtle instead. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Euonymus fortunei it is. You are so terribly kind to take time to identify this for me. Out it goes!

    Maybe Euonymus fortunei or one of its cultivars, commmon names; winter creeper aka climbing spindle-tree. Myrtle (vincar minor) is more like ground cover while E fortunei can climb up to trees top. If this is E. euonymus, pull it fast. It is considered one of the invasive plants. http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/pubs/midatlantic/eufo.htm
