You have just reminded me of the exact same type of creeper/vine in America's South called kudzu: "The plant climbs over trees or shrubs and grows so rapidly that it kills them by heavy shading." The plant has very large leaves, and so in that regard is much larger than your cucumber plant. I hadn't thought of that in the 8 years since living here in The Netherlands.
