Yes, there is a native American and an Asian variety. The Asian variety is much more aggressive in growth and will strangle a tree. The American variety will climb trees but usually not harm them. PS - neither is a high preference browse for deer.
Here is a new one. This is Wisteria, and it’s the first time I’ve noticed it. Growing in an open property fence line. I think it is the native variety but can’t tell for sure yet.
For some of you guys that have never seen the types of places I’ve been talking about, see the pic below. This spot has been mowed once or twice a year for the last 20 years. It was also treated twice with herbicides.
PS - these aren’t thornless.
