"Smilax rotundifolia" aka 'Greenbrier'

I decided to reprise an experiment I started two years ago of growing 'greenbrier' as part of my edible forest garden. A couple of years ago, after reading on Green Deane's site that Smilax would grow as a semi-erect shrub I planted a small portion of root that Fall. The next Spring it sent up a tendril and a couple of leaves and seemed to be coming along, if somewhat slowly. An unfortunate incident involving adult beverages and a weedeater ended the experiment.
Last week I dug up a couple of plants and planted them in my yard.
