Initally I would say it is perhaps a Coprosma.

Coprosma looking but thats not a climber

maclad, Dec 7, 5:54am

No, they do not climb but to the inexperienced person an untamed Coprosma can grow upwards through trees giving the appearance of climbing.

I know what it is. very excited to discover it!

maclad, Dec 7, 6:36am

So enlighten please. Love garden surprises

I am pretty sure it is Mistletoe :)

If it is, tracing the stem back should help ID it, mistletoe being a parasitic plant rather than a climber.

To me it looks a little like Cape Ivy.

See the 8th picture on this site.

Cape Ivy is a scrambler and is just awful.

Hopefully it is mistletoe otherwise you will have a job ahead to get rid of it.

It's not Cape ivy, so I think I'll stick with the Mistletoe. it's growing in a fork in the tree, just a baby yet, but hopefully it will look like this one day.
This one is just up the road a bit from here, taken last year
