So, was the plant all that was holding the wall up?

The bloody roots had worked their way into mortar and weakened it . Didn't know this until it was too late

Ah yes, a bit like the Monstera Deliciosa , they burrow the roots in the help them climb the wall, then they become the only thing holding the wall up. Ivy can result in a similar problem.

Bit like my next door neighbour and her wonderful ground cover that is constantly crawling through the fence. As soon as it peeps onto our side I give it a good long drink of round up.. That's the place where the snakes love to hide but when they pop their head over this side of the fence they lose theirs.. (Ivy doesn't like being covered in salt). Looks like that mosteria will be having a drink tomorrow
