So I would classify it as a vine as well as a possible invasive (fallen 'branches' can root and grow). As with most Euphorbias, it has some icky, sticky, irritating white sap, but is not very fragile to the touch (takes some effort to damage the surface and get the sap to run). It has some gnarly but sparse paired spines along the edges, but to 1/2" long. Plant is deep, bright green (fading to yellow in full sun). It branches readily and can create a spiny thicket in just a few years. Not one of the more ornamental species though it can have some nice striping/variegation along the columns.
