I agree; they are notoriously slow. I had to cut down my wonderful old one to renovate one of my sheds here that it had engulfed, and I have been waiting a few years for its replacement to get going. This is a VERY ambitions and strong-growing plant once it’s acclimated, however, and its root-like attachments will leave permanent marks on what they hold onto.
