Ok, I know that Creeper=Vine (the plants) but is Ivy=Creeper=Vine?
Oh, *P.S* What's the difference between Poison Ivy and 'regular' Ivy?
Is 'ivy' a synonym of creeper/vine?
Not really. There are a lot of vining plants that don't have the common name of ivy.
Poison ivy, Toxicodendron radicans and T. rydbergii, are relatives of sumac, mango and cashews -- they're all in the Anacardiaceae. I'm not sure what "regular ivy" is to you, but I'll take a chance that it's English ivy, a relative of ginseng and Schefflera.
English ivy and poison ivy don't look anything alike:

How do you care for a vine maple tree?
Its a school thing every year these people come to our school and give us a black thorn shrub or a vine maple . I got a vine maple. The people said the tree might die. I realy don't want that to happen.Plzzzz help me out
How do you care for a vine maple tree?
Plant it in the ground after danger of frost is past. If it's very small, the biggest threat is forgetting it, and accidently mowing it or stepping on it. Stick a colorful flag beside it the first year or two, until it's big enough to be noticable.
Water when you plant it, and every week or so for the first couple months, after that, water during droughts.

Help with Russian Vine?
Can anybody suggest how to stop my neighbours Russian Vine from making my garden a complete eyesore. It grows (a mile a minute) off their trelis straight into our garden and we are the ones that have to take time to cut it down twice a week. We have thought about putting something over it, but what?as it will just grow through normal fencing. PLEASE HELP
Help with Russian Vine?
The only way to stop these invasive plants from thriving is to pull up the roots.
The only way is then to persuade your neighbour to get rid of them, explaining how ugly they look or ask your neighbour to do the cutting and trimming.
Reply:This isn't very nice of me--- but you could accidently spray it with something and kill it.Deny all knowledge and suggest it was due to some plant disease.
Reply:As the others have said, you can't kill it and you can't live with it.... However... you have a legal right to cut any growth from a neighbours plant that crosses your boundary, but the cuttings remain their property!
Try returning them via their letterbox???
Reply:I am afraid there is little you can do apart form cutting it back as you are doing now. What ever you do don't spray with a weed killer you could find your self being in trouble with the law.
You could try and talk to your neighbours and see if they really like the Russian vine! maybe they are hate it also? you could suggest getting rid of it and contributing towards planting Clematis which would look allot better and be easier to manage.
Reply:use systemic weedkiller like round up with an active ingredient called glyphosphate this will kill back onto there side as well and as russian vine is a problematic weed you will get no come back,
if they planted it recently they broke the law as from about 96 it became illegal to propagate for use in gardens
Reply:Mile a minute (Polygonum baldschuanicum or p. aubertii), is a very hard one to control, it's actually from the (Polygonum Knotweed)family which is illegal to plant, and not the mile a minute which is still planted all over the world. I'm afraid all you can do is prune the vine and of course approach your neighbour. The law has actually changed in recent years and you cant throw the clippings you cut of the vine over the fence anymore. I wouldn't want you to get into trouble, sorry but you will just have to keep trimming for now.
Good luck.
Professional Gardner for 30 odd yrs, and still going.
Reply:Not too sure of the spelling but if memory serves correct then you are referring to Polygonum Baldsuanicum...and funnily enough its colloquial term actually is Mile a minute!
this plant grows approximately 15 feet per Year and as I can testify from experience cutting it produces further branches so as to exasperate the problem!
I found that if you give it nothing to "Hang on to" then it drops back from the wall...SO! if I were you, I would cut it off completely at the top of the fence and it will automatically start sagging back into your neighbour garden (Where it belongs!) You will not be committing an offence by damaging you neighbours property as it was on your side!
%26amp; he should soon get fed up having to re-tie it at his end and may well remove it after a short time!

Can you cut a Concord Grape vine during the summer?
I have a vine that is growing all over the place. Can I cut one or two branches? I know it is the summer. Is this dangerous to the overall health of the vine?
Thanks for any advice.
Can you cut a Concord Grape vine during the summer?
No you can't, grapes need to be pruned while they are dormant so you don't expose them to disease.If branches are in the way just try to attach them to the trellis with a soft piece of twine to get them out of the way until you can prune.
Reply:I wouldn't do it. Any disease or fungus is active now and could cause allot of problems. I would cut it during the cold weather when the diseases, and viruses are dormant and can't spread so rapidly.

How does a vine peach taste?
At a nursery I saw a "vine peach" plant advertised as tasting like a peach-mango mix. Does it really taste like that or is it just another kind of melon flavor? I understand it's in the melon family.
How does a vine peach taste?
If you are interested give them a try. It's a vine plant and grows well on a trellis. The fruit is in the cantaloupe family but is smaller and has a lot more fruit. It has a taste kind of it's own, you may like it and you may not. I can take or leave it. I'm not trying to talk you out of trying it. just don't expect peaches. Spend a couple of bucks on some seed and give it a try.

Washing with soap and water within 15 minutes of contact with the plant will prevent a break out of itchy rash.

Help!!! My grape vine is dying!!?
I bought my grape vine in early spring, potted it in a large planter, used organic soil, and got an all-purpose plant food for it. I live in Mass. so I never planted it outside so it could continue to grow. Once I brought it in my house, things started to go down hill. Leaves went yellow though I knew it wasn't being under or over watered, then they all fell off. I tried club soda, epsom salt, and it's still suffering! What do I do now?? It's starting to die completely, and I was really proud of it, too! HELP!!!
Help!!! My grape vine is dying!!?
Grape vines need to go through cycles of dormancy. You'd probably be better off placing it out doors in a sheltered spot or an unheated garage. Anywhere where you're confident the roots won't freeze.
Reply:Grape vines are deciduous. All the leaves fall off in winter wherever you have it. Leave it alone in a cool but not too cold place, then bring it into a warmer but not hot place in spring and start to water again. They are very late to leaf up, long after most plants, so have patience. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just doing what it does.
Reply:about sun light. most grape leaves need full sun.. they need a cold part too. so put out side for a month or two and bring back in.

I have found vine weevil grubs in a few outdoor plant pots.What can I kill them with ?
Vine weevil eat away the plant roots causing them to die..... a gardener's nightmare.Is there an alternative to throwing away the plant and soil before they spread ?
I have found vine weevil grubs in a few outdoor plant pots.What can I kill them with ?
The only way to kill them quickly is to take all of the soil off the roots, under a running tap is easiest. Give the roots a thorough rinse and re-pot in a new pot. Throw away any old soil and the pots.
The plants might die after re-potting but they will if you leave them as they are.

Transplanting may-pop vine?
There is a maypop vine growing and producing fruit in the middle of my cousin's field. It is so pretty. I wondered if it would be possible for me to take a piece of it and root it?
Transplanting may-pop vine?
I would think it could be rooted; you might want to get some rooting hormone from your local nursery to give it a bit of help.
I haven't heard anybody call the plant a "may-pop" in a long time - thanks for the memory!
Reply:you can dig it up also they do have some growth way out from the roots..I have gotten many "babies" that way.But I was just told the way to root those is by cutting a slit in the vine close to a leaflet, dipping it it in rooting powder and just putting a pot underneath,anker the vine in the pot and it should root. Good luck! And the proper name is Passiflora or passionfruit vine. We have 4 different kinds.

Need help identifying vine bulb!?
It is really hard to tell from your pic, but your vine could be a sweet potato vine. They are sold in garden centers all over, in shades ranging from chartruese green to leaves with pink and white and green shading. They do form a root, like a sweet potato. And are actually edible, but not sweet like a reguar sweet potato that you buy in a store.

My passion flower vine is vibrant but doesn't bloom. Any suggestions?
This was a house plant that I planted outside in the Spring. The vine is huge but no flowers.
My passion flower vine is vibrant but doesn't bloom. Any suggestions?
The answer to your question lies in your additional comments.
The Passion flower blooms better when it is ROOT-BOUND. This is one of those houseplants which thrives and flowers profusely if its roots have been allowed to crowd in a pot. I would say when you bring it outside next time for the summer, leave it in its pot.
Reply:Get rid of it. It will take over everything. They are a nightmare. Vermin, bees, etc like to hide in them. How to get it to bloom. I don't know, try loads of water and fertilizer, they like that. Seriously though, kill it.

What is 'struggling vine' technique?
I know it is putting the vine under stress by giving scanty irrigation. Any idea how to creat these conditions? Explain in details please.
Thank you in anticipation
What is 'struggling vine' technique?
They use a technique called partial root drying. Normal irrigation techniques can make vines too lazy to produce top quality fruit. However, this technique takes advantage of the fact that struggling vines concentrate more of their energies on fruit production. Partial root drying involves irrigating one side of the vine while letting the roots on the other side undergo a period of drought (lasting from 5-14 days). Then the irrigation is switched to the other side, and the cycle continues so that at any one time part of the root system is always under water stress. This causes the roots to send signals to the shoots (the plant hormone abscisic acid is involved) that tell them to concentrate on grape production, not growing leaves. As well as improving grape quality, this system also reduces the amount of water used by the plant. An added bonus is that there’s no loss in yield, a trade-off that normally has to be made with enhanced grape quality.
If you live in an area that gets adequate rainfall and you do not irrigate. plants can be stressed in other ways, like withholding nutrients far a time, or over pruning. This will usually result in lower yields but better grapes.

Partial root drying involves irrigating one side of the vine while letting the roots on the other side undergo a period of drought (lasting from 5-14 days). Then the irrigation is switched to the other side, and the cycle continues so that at any one time part of the root system is always under water stress. This causes the roots to send signals to the shoots (the plant hormone abscisic acid is involved) that tell them to concentrate on grape production, not growing leaves. As well as improving grape quality, this system also reduces the amount of water used by the plant. An added bonus is that there’s no loss in yield, a trade-off that normally has to be made with enhanced grape quality.
If you live in an area that gets adequate rainfall and you do not irrigate. plants can be stressed in other ways, like withholding nutrients far a time, or over pruning. This will usually result in lower yields but better grapes.

Any suggestions on a fast growing vine that is safe for children and would do well in a zone 2b climate?
I am building a fort with my children in our backyard. We have used sections of drift wood, standing vertical, for the walls, and would love to plant a vine around these walls to help fill them in and possibly even cover the roof (either chickwire or smaller pieces of wood).... I live in Winnipeg, so I would need something that would thrive in a 2b plant hardiness zone, and as I still have an infant, the plant would have to be safe if accidentally ingested.
I've had one suggestion to stay away from Ivy (not safe for young children), but to try hops (technically not a vine, but act like one). Not sure if these would grow in my area, or how to find them.
I am open to look into an other ideas. I've asked at local garden stores, but all they can tell me is the price of what they have on their shelves!?!?!
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help me.

Morning Glory seeds are poisonous to kids and pets. Not good choice.
Hops can grow up to 40 ft and be pretty intense. Don't know about those either.
Annual Vines are good choice if you want quick results this summer and you could plant a perennial clematis along with it that would kick in next year or year after(usually takes 3 yrs to really get established and flowering)
Ideas.......
You have kids---what about growing mini pumpkins up fence. The vines grow quickly and flower all summer with great yellow flowers. In August or September you will little pumpkins the kids can pick. Jack B Little or Baby Boo are perfect variety for this.
Brown Eyed Susan Vines (Thumbergia) comes in regular yellows, oranges and white. Also newer varieties come in great shades of pinks.
Scarlet Running Beans- Grows fast and have great red flowers that hummingbirds and butterflies love.
Climbing nasturtium -vines grow very quickly and has yellow, orange,red or pink flowers. Flowers are actually edible in salads.
Here is link w/photos to vining plants w/lots of clematis:

What other creeping vine can I use besides "creeping fig" plant ? Preferably with small flowers.?
I planted creeping fig to cover a large cinder block wall about 8 years ago. I really liked the way the creeping fig grew nice and tight to the wall.

I've seen it at the same nursery I bought the creeping fig. I can't remember what its called.

How do I convert my wisteria vine into a tree?
I bought a wisteria vine a few days ago, and would like to make a tree out of it. The vine is no really mature yet, It is just about 5 ft tall
How do I convert my wisteria vine into a tree?
Cut it back so the strength goes in the trunk and it will get bush like.
Reply:Keep it well cut back so the trunk absorbs all the growing energy, eventually the trunk will thicken and then you can grow it on.

I have a vine that should attract hummingbirds. What should I feed it so it will flower?

I have a vine that should attract hummingbirds. What should I feed it so it will flower?
i know a woman who built a small shelter beside her house to sit and read. it's made out of chicken wire. corners out of rebar. it's only about 5'5'' high . then she planted all sorts of plants around it so it would look good all summer and smell just as good. in the heat of summer she hated the thing because it was too hot so she planted a bunch of vines all of which were flowering. the third year she had it she heard a strong buzzing sound ,thought she had the biggest bee's in the world, it was a humming bird . .. weeks later she realized this bird had nested and was raising young. these little darlings have been coming back for 15 years.

I have a vine growing in my flower bed what kind could it be?
leaves have three lobes, with smooth edges that point at end of lobe, vine is "hairy" and is climbing things, very pretty, but is taking over my flowers....I'll transplant some of it if it is something I want to keep
I have a vine growing in my flower bed what kind could it be?
Without seeing it, I can only guess. But it sound like it could be "Mile-a-Minute", or a lobed morning glory, or possibly poison ivy (If, by "3-lobes", you mean three leaves on the end of each stem, rather than one leaves with three lobes). All of which will eat your whole garden it you allow it to stay. And of course they last one has even more "issues".
Does it have any flowers? That would help identify.
Reply:yep.. sounds like PI to me, too.. it's a pretty plant, but it's NASTY!
Do an image search of poison ivy and if it is.. get rid of it and take precautions so you don't get the rash from it.

Is it true that when growing a grape vine that you cut off the vines that are not produceing grapes?
is it true that by cuting off the vines that are not produceing help take the stress off vine that are produceing?
Is it true that when growing a grape vine that you cut off the vines that are not produceing grapes?
Yes it is. Grape vines are always pruned. Actually, shorter than you may think. This makes for stronger vines and sweeter grapes. Along with grape being larger. You may want to look at some book about growing grape vines. Or, if you are in an area where they have vineyards, go look at those, they are usually kept short, about 5 feet high and the vines are kept about as wide as the vine is tall. They need support also. Usually some type of metal wire rails inbetween the wood poles. Good luck and remember, pruning is not going to hurt your vines, the good thing about grapes, they come back every year. Have fun.

What is this New England parasitic vine?
There is this aggressive parasitic vine I am trying to identify. I knew what it was once but didn't write it down. It is a woody vine with spade-shaped green leaves (sometimes fatter spades, almost circular; sometimes thinner) that alternate, and bright orange roots. Leave edges are very slightly scalloped. It spreads by root very pervasively. A photo is available at http://picasaweb.google.com/eewanco/Para... .
What is this New England parasitic vine?
Bittersweet, it is an Asian transplant.
In the fall it will have beautiful berries of yellow that will burst open into quarter slices revealing and orange berry.
Many people harvest them for door wreaths!
I spray herbicides and pull and dig and curse!
Thanks to the Highway dept. who imported them years ago to cover the steep embankments on the sides of major high ways. Or that is what I was told anyhow!

Ivy's Twisted Vine is More of a Drama than a Romance.?
I'm not completely finished with Ivy's Twisted Vine, but it is a page turner. However, one thing that comes to mind is that this book is almost more drama than romance. I do have to say that the love scene was extremely sensual, but the rest of the book is really deep. Does anyone else feel as though this book is a drama or am I the only one?
Ivy's Twisted Vine is More of a Drama than a Romance.?
I have read the entire book. Definitely keep reading! The author throws a few more twists and turns as the story draws to a close. Trust me, you'll want to read it more than once! I know I did. Never before have I felt so connected to the characters in a story. I think everyone can relate to this story - whether you're black, white, male or female - everyone has been through the trials and tribulations of a relationship gone wrong. It's a great page turner!
Reply:Mira, keep reading. The book gets even better as you go along. Each chapter becomes more involved and pulls you deeper into the plot. I think that it could be classified as both easily. Enjoy. I won't give away the ending, but it's a kicker.
Reply:I purchased her book online at authorhouse. My girlfriend and I are in an interracail relationship with a new kid. So, the book was sort of fitting. I got it on Friday and I'm already finished. I agree. It was a drama, but it was chic lit too. I was surprised that the book was so good. It didn't use a lot of silly sterotypes about men or women, white or black. My girlfriend is starting to read it now. And she can't put it down either. She was talking to me about it tonight in the shower.
I'm surprised that I had never heard of the author before, but we were online looking for new interracial novels and her site popped up. It was nothing like anything I've ever read. You really don't know what to expect. If I were going to categorize the book, I'd say it was Drama. If I were going to rate the book on a scale of 1 to 10. I'd give it a 10. Two thumbs up for Latrivia Nelson. I can't wait to read her next one.

What kind of vine will grow up the brick walls of my house?
i love the look of a vine growing up the brick of a house. i'd love to try it on my house.
What kind of vine will grow up the brick walls of my house?
I live in south Texas where it is either pouring or a drought...i just planted two big trumpet vines....the ones that are evergreen, but you really have to keep trimmed ...they take over everything and the hummingbirds go wild seeing them. the Mdm Galen is bigger and prettier, but it is not as hardy....I planted them on the wood holding up the sides (off the roof) and am hoping they cover the entire barn...I can't think of anything better...wisteria is too heavy...ivy burns down here...jasmines won't take the wind....You could always plant that wonderful pink lacy coral vine that is decidious...puts on its best bloom at the middle to end of the summer and on into fall...then when the first freeze hits, it freezes but comes back again quickly..
Reply:before you plant any kind of vine check with your landscape co some vines are on the " dont plant list " and you could get fines
Reply:English Ivy will do the job, but if you plant it, beware. It will climb up your brick, loosen cement, get into the window sills, go up to your roof, life the shingles and if you have any wood siding, it will get under those and perhaps into the house. I would leave it the way it is.
Reply:Creeping Fig-Ficus pumila(repens) is evergreen and will stick on it's way up. Boston Ivy-parthenecissus tricuspidatus will stick as well. But it is deciduous. The leaves turn pretty colors before they drop. Then you get this fabulously sculptural pattern of bare vines.
But remember climbers that stick use little tendrilly feet and will get between the bricks. I would use it on bricks but never on stucco. Because if you take the vine down you will have to re-stucco.
Reply:I would use honeysuckle. Yummy scent.
Reply:English Ivy.. but be sure that is what you want.. It will take over everything.. I had it on my house in Virginia
Reply:Ivy is a good hearty vining plant as are vining roses. You may also want to consider Morning glories, as they bloom in a variety of colors. A lot of trailing plants can be trellised to begin their climb up brick walls but for the most part, Ivy and vining roses seem to be some of the heartier. You don't say what part of the country you are in, but I live in New Mexico, and the Morning Glories are abundant year round even though we do get snow.
They do go into hybernation for about 2 months, they are back to their usual happy selves. If you get snow or frost you may want to consider waiting until spring to plant or else covering any new seedlings that you are raising to climb since the younger plants are more easily killed by frost and cold. Also, there are some plants in the squash family that are strictly ornamental that grow rapidly and are quite hearty that will also be trainable to grow up a wall. good growing!

I live in south Texas where it is either pouring or a drought...i just planted two big trumpet vines....the ones that are evergreen, but you really have to keep trimmed ...they take over everything and the hummingbirds go wild seeing them. the Mdm Galen is bigger and prettier, but it is not as hardy....I planted them on the wood holding up the sides (off the roof) and am hoping they cover the entire barn...I can't think of anything better...wisteria is too heavy...ivy burns down here...jasmines won't take the wind....You could always plant that wonderful pink lacy coral vine that is decidious...puts on its best bloom at the middle to end of the summer and on into fall...then when the first freeze hits, it freezes but comes back again quickly..
Reply:before you plant any kind of vine check with your landscape co some vines are on the " dont plant list " and you could get fines
Reply:English Ivy will do the job, but if you plant it, beware. It will climb up your brick, loosen cement, get into the window sills, go up to your roof, life the shingles and if you have any wood siding, it will get under those and perhaps into the house. I would leave it the way it is.
Reply:Creeping Fig-Ficus pumila(repens) is evergreen and will stick on it's way up. Boston Ivy-parthenecissus tricuspidatus will stick as well. But it is deciduous. The leaves turn pretty colors before they drop. Then you get this fabulously sculptural pattern of bare vines.
But remember climbers that stick use little tendrilly feet and will get between the bricks. I would use it on bricks but never on stucco. Because if you take the vine down you will have to re-stucco.
Reply:I would use honeysuckle. Yummy scent.
Reply:English Ivy.. but be sure that is what you want.. It will take over everything.. I had it on my house in Virginia
Reply:Ivy is a good hearty vining plant as are vining roses. You may also want to consider Morning glories, as they bloom in a variety of colors. A lot of trailing plants can be trellised to begin their climb up brick walls but for the most part, Ivy and vining roses seem to be some of the heartier. You don't say what part of the country you are in, but I live in New Mexico, and the Morning Glories are abundant year round even though we do get snow.
They do go into hybernation for about 2 months, they are back to their usual happy selves. If you get snow or frost you may want to consider waiting until spring to plant or else covering any new seedlings that you are raising to climb since the younger plants are more easily killed by frost and cold. Also, there are some plants in the squash family that are strictly ornamental that grow rapidly and are quite hearty that will also be trainable to grow up a wall. good growing!

Grafting a grape Vine?
How do you graft a grape vine?
Grafting a grape Vine?
This site will give you all the information on grafting grapevines.
http://cetulare.ucdavis.edu/pubgrape/gv6...
Reply:The best way to graft grapes is to use a "T" bud. It can be used on both old as well as young vines. The key to making the technique work is to make a "bleed cut" about one to two inches below the "T" cut. In this way the vine bleeds at this cut and not at the "T" above. If the vine bleeds at the "T" cut, the bud cannot heal.
The "T" or shield bud is outlined in detail at the following site: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/propa... This technique is best used in early to mid-spring; do not try too early though as the sap from the vine will be excessive. You will need to cut and store buds in January or February.

Landscaping help!!! What kind of vine should I plant on a steep, rocky bank???
I have a steep, rocky bank behind my house... it is about 12ish feet high... nothing will grow on it b/c it is so rocky... so i'm planning to cover the bank with chicken wire and then plant a climbing vine at the bottom and top of the bank... what type of vine(s) should i plant? i would like something that grows fast... and something that flowers... thanks!!
Landscaping help!!! What kind of vine should I plant on a steep, rocky bank???
Have you considered any of the honeysuckles or trumpet vines or maybe wisteria? If you live in zone 6 these would probably all work and they are all perennials and fairly aggressive growers though it might take 2-3 years for them to bloom much. All three are readily available in most nurseries seed/plant catalogs and on-line.
Also the honeysuckle and the trumpet have the added advantage in that they are both Hummingbird magnets if you like birds.
You might also try to pack some of the areas between the rocks with a little dirt so that what ever vine you do use will have little areas to possibly put some roots into after it gets established at the bottom
Reply:try cudzu it grows like wildfire in n.c. and people say its edible it flowers but it does tend to take over in warmer areas
Reply:Have you heard of Ajuga? We also have a steep bank up the one side of the driveway. Planted or should I say placed ajuga (hardly inserted it in the soil) on the bank on a really rainy day and it took hold. Didn't look great for a few weeks, but then took off. I won't say it's a vine but it is a green to purple (deep) leaf, has runners (for spreading) and flowers a lavendar flower in spring (mid May). Beautiful plant, I've shared it with many friends who also agree.
Be careful where you plant it though, we live in the woods where spreading isn't a problem. I must say some of it spread into the lawn, but we mow right over it. Depends how fussy you are about your lawn.
Reply:Try Passion Vine. It makes incredible purple flowers and smells good. It also makes an edible fruit. It grows really fast and in my area (Zone 8) it stays green all year. Mine is gorgeous. You can train it into shapes that are amazing. My friends and family are completely mouth dropped open, amazed at my plants. This plant is truly spectacular. There are several different varieties. Some have red flowers that are magnificant. Google this so that you can see the flowers.
The down side is that Passion Vine attracts butterflies. This sounds like really good news.....at first. But it's lots and LOTS of orange butterflies that will breed on your plants. You're very happy...at first. But those greedy butterflies do not share. Their caterpillars eat every single leaf and flower and they will kill your beautiful plant within three weeks if you don't do something.
It's quite embarrassing to go to Home Depot and ask what kind of spray you should buy when you are trying to kill butterflies. You will look like a mean jerk. Been there....done that. It is embarrassing. But you absolutely have to spray it lightly once a month or else the butterflies will take the plant all the way down to the dirt and quickly kill the plant.
The butterflies will recover and they can move on and breed on lots of other plants besides this one tiny section of your off limit Passion Vine.
Reply:Creeping fig or Hottentot fig, it is an iceplant that will cover an area in a year and hold the ground from errosion. Plant every 12 inches and you will have a mat in a year.
Reply:Please don't grow kudzu. It's an invasive plant that will take over if given the opportunity. Try asian jasmine. It grows fairly fast, is evergreen and low maintenance.
Reply:morning glories they are a beautiful vine to grow and you will never be disappointed.
it grows fast and is easy to care for
start indoors 3 weeks before last frost for flowers
try covering the the bank with rich soil and start planting
good luck !!!!

My grape vine has been growing well for about 5 years,?
My grape vine has been growing well for about 5 years, but never had any fruit, or even flowers. Is this because I haven't yet pruned it? What should I do?
My grape vine has been growing well for about 5 years,?
Beth S:
Hi Beth, I wonder if your grape is getting enough Sunlight. Five years and still no fruit, strange. I would surely prune it this year, by now the roots are well established, fertilize it as well, with a good vegtable/fruit fertalizer. Are you POSITIVE it's a grape? Wisteria looks alot like grape, and it blooms in about it's 5th year. Lets assume it IS a grape though. So, grapes LOVE water. Did/have you been growing it on a trellace type fence. It needs support to grow well. But I think if you haven't pruned it in 5 years, most definetly, a pruneing is in order! Loosen the soil around the base of the plant to ensure that is able to get as much water as it can when it rains. As I mentioned , Fertilizing is most likely in order as well. So, Beth, I guess, If you have given it support, food shelter,(starting to sound like a teenager!) it should be well on it's way. Good Luck. Bertram
Reply:try cutting it back this fall, also next spring, give it a little fertilizer, before it puts on starts growing, may be a sterile plant,

How to kill a creeping vine?
I have a green vine with heart shaped leaves that is taking over the bushes in front of my house, how can I get rid of it?
This vine is kind of pretty %26amp; had a pepper-ish smell. BUT it keeps growing, no matter how many times I pull it off of the wall, the balcony railings or out of my other plants. I even caught it wrapping tendrils around my houseplants. I've tried pulling it up by the roots, but it is still coming back.
Someone help me!
How to kill a creeping vine?
If you use round up or other herbicide, it will kill your bushes as well. Find the root system for the vine and pull it. Make sure you dig with a shovel and pull it all out. Be dilligent about inspecting that area and look for new growth. Dig for roots everytime you see new growth.
Best of luck.
Reply:Roundup, judiciously applied to areas that the vine is not around other plants. Don't be afraid to use tarps to protect desirable plants. will take several tries, but will work.
Pouring a gallon of roundup on anything is overkill. I'd use a small spray bottle, dilute the roundup as per instructions, and carefully spray, using tarps to protect desirable plants, repeat weekly until vine is gone.
Roundup is absorbed thru leaves and goes to roots. Obviously the closer the leaves are to the roots, the better, but Roundup is effective from longe-range leaves too. Your key---protecting desirable plants.
Total kill is probably pretty much the same thing
geez, hello again Misty! We gotta stop meeting like this---;)
Reply:Misty is right. I cut down a small bush and did not want it to grow back. I poured a gallon of Roundup on it and I haven't seen it since.
Reply:There is a chemical at the garden stores called "total kill". Most of the time it is used on poison ivy or areas that do not have much greenier around them, but there is a problem weed. It kills everything green or living plants around it so be careful of other plants or grass that surround it. Cut the stem at ground level and pore some down it's stem. Might have to repeat but a good dose down the stem or on the roots which ever is easier should do the trick.
Reply:dig to where the roots and just cut off either the tpis of the roots,or half of them
you can also trim the vines to the base and put some lattuse around it so it wont get to the walls
Reply:Sounds like bindweed. Like the previous posters suggested, use round-up (read instructions carefully). Combine that with pulling it consistently, and NEVER let it flower and go to seed.
(If it's bindweed it will have little white flowers eventually sometimes tinged pink.)
Reply:Roundup is the best cure for vines. They also make a special ivy killer. It is what is used to kill poison ivy and poison oak. I've found that it doesnt do as good as roundup though. If you have other plants that you want to save near the roots of this plant then you will want to try the ivy killer. Make sure that no matter what you use, go for the roots. Good luck!
Reply:I just read (in a magazine from the Azalea Society) about a great technique for killing vines without hurting the surrounding plants. Get some of the vials that florists use to keep flower stems in water while they are in wreaths and other arrangements. Fill the vial with a liquid herbicide, like Roundup, clip the vine to a length that will allow it to reach ground level, and insert the cut end of the vine into the vial. Then poke the vial (with vine in) into the ground. The vine will absorb the herbicide, transport it through its system, and die. I haven't tried this yet, but it sure seems like it would work.

Reply:Those are wild strawberries. They will shortly get a small, inedible red berry. You need to pull them out evwerywhere the vine roots to the earth, as next year each plant will send out new growth in every direction. They are easiest to pull after a rainstorm -- make certain you get the entire root.
Reply:It looks more like cinquefoil. I don't think its a strawberry because strawberries usually have 3 leaflets not 5. It also looks like the plant in your picture is getting ready to flower with a yellow flower, like cinquefoil. Strawberries and cinquefoil are both in the rose family (rosaceae).
Reply:That is a strawberry plant and they are extremely hard to get rid of because you have to get the whole runner. I've been trying to get it out of my garden for the last two years and every year it is back again.
Reply:Sasha...you do have some interesting weeds in your garden.
That is wild strawberry, which is inedible, and annoying. It is not hard to get rid of by hand weeding.
Reply:It looks like either wild strawberries or a dwarf cinquefoil. If it gets little yellow flowers, maybe it's a dwarf cinquefoil.

wild strawberry....
Reply:Those are wild strawberries. They will shortly get a small, inedible red berry. You need to pull them out evwerywhere the vine roots to the earth, as next year each plant will send out new growth in every direction. They are easiest to pull after a rainstorm -- make certain you get the entire root.
Reply:It looks more like cinquefoil. I don't think its a strawberry because strawberries usually have 3 leaflets not 5. It also looks like the plant in your picture is getting ready to flower with a yellow flower, like cinquefoil. Strawberries and cinquefoil are both in the rose family (rosaceae).
Reply:That is a strawberry plant and they are extremely hard to get rid of because you have to get the whole runner. I've been trying to get it out of my garden for the last two years and every year it is back again.
Reply:Sasha...you do have some interesting weeds in your garden.
That is wild strawberry, which is inedible, and annoying. It is not hard to get rid of by hand weeding.
Reply:It looks like either wild strawberries or a dwarf cinquefoil. If it gets little yellow flowers, maybe it's a dwarf cinquefoil.
Reply:iits really hard to tell in a photo only without seeing it in person, but it kindof looks like a wild strawberry plant. hope this helps

How do I clean trumpet vine residue from a painted wall?
I have a trumpet vine that sometimes gets out of control and grows and attaches to the outside wall of my house. When I pull the vine away from the wall, it leaves 'suckers'? on the wall and they seem impossible to remove. Is there something to dissolve them or a way to remove it from a painted wall with minimal damage to the paint?
How do I clean trumpet vine residue from a painted wall?
Personally, I would just leave them for nature to take care of. Eventually it will go away. I keep thinking Brillo pad but very light handed. The same thing happens to my foundation block because of the ivy. I'm always pulling it away for the house so that it doesn't grow under the vinyl siding. (Brillo great for vinyl)

New jasmine vine is this rain for 2 days straight going to damage it?
i planted it about 1 week ago or there abouts... maybe 2 now.
I was told they don't need much water and not to over water plants period. Is this going to damage it? I feel like a farmer right now and like i am going to lose my crop.
Is there anything i can do if tomorrow there is another day like this and this rain IS indeed going to ruin my beautiful Jasmine vine?

Can someone identify this flowering vine please?
Hi. I planted this flowering vine along some lattice on our deck. I adore it! Not only does it give us added privacy for our deck area, the hummingbirds love it too. I forgot the name of it and I want to plant more in the spring. There are pods on it so I have the seeds to plant, but everyone wants to know what this beautiful vine is called.. any info will be helpful... even a link perhaps to a site where i might be able to find it. Thanks.

what you have is Cardinal Climber vine, Ipomoea x multifida... now, there is another very much like it that you'll see, that has finer textured leaves, that one is known around here as Cypress Vine... same family... they're all in the Morning Glory family... there's also an orange-flowered one, but it's leaves are hearts , like the morning glory ones....also much loved by hummers and butterflies.... I plant mine near where my hummer feeder is, so they know there's food in 'that' place....
here's pics... and you'll see the fine-textured one there, too...
http://images.google.com/images?q=cardin...
edit.... indeed the seeds do manage to get around... be very careful when taking down the old vine after it's brown and dead, cuz those seeds will spread themselves everywhere..( I spread out an old sheet to catch them and then give them to buddies) .. the good thing, tho, is that they are so recogniseable as seedlings that you can pull any that you don't want wherever.... they also transplant if you let them get several inches tall first.....
Reply:You are growing a cardinal climber,, much like the snozeberry bush,, Hummingbirds really do love them,,, and they grow quickly
Reply:Entirely invasive, they reproduce seeds at an alarming rate. You'll be pulling lots of sprouts in the spring.

Im looking for the name of a vine plant...?
I have asked people before and no one seems to actually know the true name of this plant. It has medium sized green and sometimes white and green glossy leaves. The bloom is what makes this plant so unique and peculiar. It blooms in bulbous hanging clumps of small, star-shaped pinkish white, succulent flowers that tend to have a deep maroon spot at the center. The aroma of these blooms is intoxicating and I loved sitting on my porch just to enjoy the scent and view of this exotic vine. I recently moved and had to leave all my plants behind, so I hope someone can help me so i may find another!

Bamboo or Vine for added privacy, southeastern U.S.?
We have a brick fenced back yard with a pool. We enjoy sunning and swimming all summer long. We have wonderful privacy all around the yard with the fence and small tree plantings.
However, where there was once privacy on the one of the neighbors side, last summer he cut down all of his crepe myrtles that ran along his side of the fence and now he can see into our yard. Last year we caught him spying on me and my daughter several times. (pervert)
I was thinking of a bamboo that will get about 8ft hight. I need it to be contained along that side of the fence for about 10 feet... and I know I need to set sheet metal 24" into the ground so it won't spread. Would really like some suggestions on which variety I should use?
Or, do you know of something else, like a quick growing decorative vine (blooming would be nice) that I could send up the brick and use some lattice to get it to grow above the height of the fence?
Bamboo or Vine for added privacy, southeastern U.S.?
Hey folks not ALL bamboo is invasive!!!!!! True the runners can be but there are hundreds of species of clumping bamboos that are cold tolerant enough for zone 7 or 8, I would recommend any of the Bambusa multiplex variants for a nice medium high hedge. They dont have anything to do with mosquitoes, take little care and are very gracefull and beautiful. No need for barriers for clumping bamboo!!!!!
Reply:jasmine grows fairly quickly %26amp; smells wonderful
Reply:I love Wisteria for this purpose. Its a long vine that comes in a lot of colors. I love the deep purple one. If you plant this at the bottom of the fence you should be able to let it climb up and out along the fence. You might have to guide it in the directing that you want it to go but once it gets going its very hard to stop.
try this link It gives you pictures and some info . I live in the south and this is one of my favorite things for my husband to plant.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisteria
Reply:Live bamboo has become quite invasive so I don't recommend bamboo. Here is a great shrub that I used for many of the same reasons: pyrocanthia aka fire thorn. Buy enough bushes to plant every two to three feet. They grow fast, birds love the orange berries and the added benefit..nasty little thorns. If your neighbor decides to peep, he will be torn to shreds. When I pruned these bushes, which was seldom, I had to wear almost full body armor. They grow fast, have nice flowers and beautiful clusters of orange berries that last through the winter and they will tear your neighbor up if he tries to peek. The shrubs will bush and they will attain about 6 feet and not grow too much higher but mine did once get to 8 feet so I pruned them back.
Reply:Silver Lace vine. Quick to grow and can be contained.
Reply:Hi:
Living in zone eight you have some good options for vines or other options to put on a fence. I live in zone seven and the answer was good in using Jasmine. It grows fairly quickly and the yellow or white flowers make it very attractive as well as the aroma is splendid. You can also use Pyracanthus and this can be trained to go up a fence. It will grow large and provide good privacy for you. There is the climbing Hyrangea that can be used if there is some shade.
There is also another option of putting up some upright privacy trees. The Emerald Green Arborviate is a great plant specimen for your zone. It will grow three to four feet a year and not crowd other areas. You can plant some an odd number of them and receive privacy in a short amount of time. You can purchase the tree in different size containers as well as a ball and burlap. It is an evergreen and also low maintenance. Bamboo can over take an area and also has many runners and shoots.
I hope this helps some and I will link you to the gallery of planst section of my website. There are different photos of a variety of plants specimens as well as descriptions and zones. This may give you some ideas. I will also link you to the sitemap, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can get some other information on different tips or techniques that may help you with this landscape project or any other one. If you need further help or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at the website. Good luck to you in finding the right plant specimen for your privacy needs. Have a great day!

Reply:you have a few vines that can grow there
the first one is a pink moon vine. looks very tropical on a fence or palm tree and is cold hardy to zone 7a so it will tolerate yours with no problem
moon vine
like the pink moon vine only it is much more fragrant and less cold hardy . cold hardiness zone 8a-8b
jackmans clementis
this one is very unique as well as cold hardy. cold hardy to zone 6b
Wisteria sinensis
very pretty and common over here in forests. very cold hardy
also a good idea is bananas.
here are a few.
musa basjoo banana.
cold hardy to zone 6a
chinese yellow banana
cold hardy to zone 7b
orinocco
edible and cold hardy to zone 7b
blood banana
doesnt grow tall, but beautiful foilage
ice cream banana
banana taste like ice cream and cold hardy to zone 8b
ALL OF THE THING I HAVE LISTED ARE PERENNIALS
Reply:Bamboo will work, but from my experience it attracts a lot of mosquitos and other bugs. I really hated it and cut it down.
Red and Yellow dogwood bushes grow extremely fast and dense, as do red Willow bushes (not the trees) .
As for Vines, Ivy grows like crazy here in Zone 8, as does honeysuckle.
BTW- I hope you called the law about your peeping tom!
Reply:Look at something like hybrid poplar or another fast growing bushy tree. Bamboo or ivy will completely take over if you let it.

How do you kill Trumpet vine?
I moved into a new house and trumpet vine is growing on it. It is very pretty but,it is very advasive stuff and is tearing up the side of my house and trying to go under the shingles on my roof. Do you know any ways of totally killing it. I know it has to be killed to the root. It is a woody vine. Help me out here.
Thanks
How do you kill Trumpet vine?
Actually, just trying to dig up the vine will probably not do it -- you will not be able to get all of it and it is very tenacious. Here is how the professionals do it. I know -- I'm married to a restoration ecologist and he has to kill invasives species all the time!! (Although it is a shame with trumpet vine -- they do attract such nice hummers). Anyway:
"If you want to kill your plant, cut the vines off at ground level and carefully paint the cut ends of the vine with Round-Up, then repeat as needed."
It is the painting of the cut ends with Round-up (full strength) that does the trick. Do this *immediately* after the cutting. The poison is thus sucked into the roots, directly poisoning them so they eventually will die. May take a while, which is why you may have to repeat. But it will do it. This also prevents the poison from killing off anything else in the area that you don't want dead. %26lt;sigh%26gt; Oh, well. Better for your house, anyway. Good luck!
Reply:The easiest way is to cut it back and then dig up the roots. Avoid using poison in your yard as much as possible. Still, I have to tell you, most people would give their eye teeth to have a trumpet vine in their yard. It sounds like the previous owners let it go hog wild and did not trim it back now and then. Trumpet vines attract hummingbirds, are pretty to look at -- flowers and leaves, and quite frankly, they can help insulate your house, often keeping it cooler in the summertime. Flowers can be orange (most of the time I see this color) or yellow. If I were you, I'd just trim it back from the windows and your roof.
Reply:Pee on them!!!!!
Reply:I have one growing on my garage. It has actually gone under my garage. I have tried physically digging it out, then used a weed killer on it..hacked it, didn't ever water it and it KEPT coming back. The roots have grown under my garage, so even when we did it out in 2 years it's back again. We have resolved to let it rip up the garage (80 years old) and we enjoy the hummingbirds that it attacks. It now has grown up the side and across the top of the garge. To answer your question..I have NO idea. Enjoy!
Reply:you have to physically go and rip it out of the ground or use poison to kill it.
Reply:Dig it up.
Reply:round-up for brush
Reply:The easiest thing to do is find the root and dig it up. If you can't get to it, go to your local garden shop and they should have a variety of killer for woody vines. You can also cut it back to the base and leave just a little bit of it each fall. The in the spring it will start growing and get pretty, but not huge during the summer. As long as you cut it back each fall you can manage it really well.
Reply:you have to get to the root of the problem! seroiusly, you need to find the starting source and completely remove all roots. if you do not or leave just a few, it will start regrowing
Reply:Round up will do the trick. Cut it down to the ground and pour round up on the remaining stalks.
Reply:Get Round-Up and spray the roots... guaranteed it'll be gone within 2 weeks and has NO chance of coming back.
Just be careful not to spray it close to other vegetation. It'll take out pretty much anything without being dangerous to pets and animals.

Grapes stay fresh longer on vine or off?
Does anyone know if grapes will stay fresh longer if refrigerated and kept on the vine or plucked off the vine? Not special grapes just regular red grapes from the grocery store.
Grapes stay fresh longer on vine or off?
I've kept all kinds of grapes in the fridge in their store [plastic] bags for up to 2 weeks--still on their stems, but I culled out the squishy old ones every time I clipped off a bunch to eat. Get rid of the dead or moldy ones as you go along, and what's left will keep just fine. Don't wash them until you're ready to eat the ones you snip off. If you select good firm %26amp; spiffy ones in the bags from the store, you should have about a 95% survival rate from fridge storage. Bon appetit!

Hi, I have a grape vine also. the grape vine can be feed with a 'Miriclegrow' but to be honest i wouldnt bother,,my grapes are also small but normally over the next month they tend to have a growing spurt, if you over-water them they will split (you dont want that) just water as normal.i would leave them as what you describe is normal. just look forward to eating them at the end of next month
Reply:Hi Ron W. probably the best thing to feed is miracle grow you probably have a wild grape vine ,in which case it will produce fine quality fruit and very tasty for jelly or jam and wine or as a blend for wine making.i have a grape which i just picked (to beat the birds)and could ripen a little more ,its called a "bata grape" just a Little larger than a wild very good on flavor hope this helps. coop
Reply:The root of your vine should be outside and planted in poor soil with plenty of drainage aggregate. If you want good size grapes you should keep the number of bunches down and stop the vine making to much growth by stopping out the leaders. If you grapes are like black currents at this time of year , then they will not get much larger and will soon ripen.
Next year try to keep the number down by thinning out.

Can anyone identify a wild vine for me?
I have a vine growing behind my house... it has star or maple leaf looking leaves and it has hard, round, thorny looking seeds or balls hanging from it. Can anyone help me identify it? P.S. It is not a sourgum tree/vine - already checked! Thanks

Sounds like the Hedera Helix (ivy) see below.
Reply:sounds like a grapevine though I dont recomend eating any
Reply:Well.. it does have the attributes of an INDIAN HAWTHORNE
Take a look at this Duranti Plumieri to see if that could be it:

Or is it the BITTERSWEET: ( Celastrus orbiculata )
Unfortunaely.. you did not tell us if it was a climbing vine or just a bush.. does it have flowers or not... does it grow and live thru the winter or is it an ANNUAL vine
Reply:Could be a Virginia Creeper. They are aggressive spreaders, but tend not to damage structures. Check it out on the net to see if it is what you have.
Example: http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/trees/paqu.h...
Even if you decide to get rid of the Creeper, you might want to let it live through the fall as its seeds and leaf color are attractive at that time.

What is a very good vine to grow on a wall?
I was thinking of possibly climbing hydrangea, or English Ivy , and anyone who could tell me the best way to train Englsih Ivy to climb a wall better and faster, I would appreciate it.
There is a strip of ground in between the sidewalk and the wall I am wishing to have this vine grow on. I think the are is around only 3 feet wide. IS it possible to contain this planted vine and have it grow very quickly vertically or not?
how do you do this?
Thanks for your answers!
What is a very good vine to grow on a wall?
Ivy will totally cover this area! In a few years you will be trimming and pulling it out to keep it under control. Have you considered a columnar shaped bush such as arborvitae or cypress. Look up columnar apple trees they sound nice.
Vines are nice but they do take over and this sounds like a small area.
Another idea would be an annual vine such as hummingbird vine.
Clematis are nice too and they are perennials.
Reply:Grape. That way, when it grows big enough and produces fruit, you can make your own wine.
Reply:English Ivy will take over everything. If you want to keep it in check i suggest planting it in a raised bed. Other than that you will have to be dilligent about pruning. Have you ever considered a climbing tee rose.
also Ivy growing on a wall may be very pretty but it can eventually harm the mortar of bricks and can do a number on siding. The tendrils that attach itself to whatever will grow into some pretty tight crack which degrades the material....eventually

Is there a milkweed vine?
I have noticed monarch butterflies laying eggs on a vine that covers one of my bushes, I thought it was milkweed but I haven't found any pictures of milkweed that showed a vine, the leaves are heart shaped with a pod that opens in the fall to release brown flat seeds that have a fluffy top to float in the wind, the pod looks like a milkweed pod but I'm not sure, is this milkweed?
Is there a milkweed vine?
What you have is in the milkweed family, but not a milkweed. The most likely possibility is Sandvine. The second possibility is Angle Pod. Try finding a picture of them to see which it is.
Reply:Not milkweed. Careful of any vine growing on your bushes...it may kill them.
Reply:It sure sounds like milkweed to me. We get this kind each year. As a kid i loved to open them up.

How to get rid of an ivy vine?
Hi, My neighbour has a ivy vine that has made it's way through my fence and ive had to pull out plants from my garden cause its overridden everything. Im in melbourne, australia, dont know what kind of ivy vine it is. Apparently it's been there for like 20 years and the people who used to live in my house have tried for years to get rid of it. I know it can be hard to get rid of but was hoping for some advice. Its just the vine and leaves over my fence, the roots of it are at the neighbours. Its coming in through in between the wooden palings of the fence. Can I put something on the fence to stop it. People have tried poisoning it without success and I dont want to use poisons as I have pets.
How to get rid of an ivy vine?
RoundUp will not work on ivy because it has a waxy surface. You need to buy brush killer, and make sure the active herbicide is Dithiopyr. This will make the vines growing on your side die without harming your grass or your pets. Keep your pets away from area until surface of plant is dry. You might have to treat a couple of times but it works. Follow label instructions...
Reply:you can put up a flat barrier or you can sprinkle table salt on the soil where it is growing but be carefull anywhere Table Salt is added to soil will kill and prevent anything from growing there unless you remove the soil and replace it with new soil.
Reply:Keep spraying the leaves with Round-Up every few weeks until it's gone. Ivy is notorious for coming back, so you will probably see it pop up every couple of months even after you think it's all gone; just keep a spray bottle of Round-Up handy.
Reply:Try spraying the ivy on your side with a solution of 1/2 cup of salt to 1 gallon water.A squirt or two of liquid dish soap will help as well.[it helps the solution to stick to the ivy,mix withprevious ingredients].this will not harm your pets.
Reply:Round-up is the best for killing the ivy and it dissipates in a few hours as long as you use it on a sunny day, so all you need to do is keep your pets away for a few hours. But even with that, the ivy will keep coming back through the fence since it is a very invasive plant. How about talking to your neighbor about getting rid of it entirely and offering to help split the cost and plant new landscaping on their side of the fence. They might be sick of it too.
Reply:If you don't want to use an herbicide, there is not much you can do.
Reply:take a long screw driver and put a hole in the ground next to the fence ,then fill the hole with a cup of kerosene and put dirt in the hole ,you should see results in a few months
the vine will die do this every month til its gone it...... will kill trees also.

How do I get vine marks off my sofit and facia? Pressure washer didn't work!?
I just bought the house and the old owners didn't trim back the vines on the side off the house. I have sticky vine marks and twigs on the sofit and facia and can't get them off by pressure washing. Any ideas????
How do I get vine marks off my sofit and facia? Pressure washer didn't work!?
Scraping and sanding is about all that works.....or ignoring them and painting over the bumps.
Reply:sanding and painting. A tried and true method. However, be sure you give the press. washed wood at least a week to dry first from that water. You probably loosened up some of the paint with that intense washing.
Reply:try bleach/hot water mixture.

What would happen if combining both Cross Vine and Trumpet Vine together on the same wall?
I think I remember reading that the Cross Vine is more evergreen and blooms in Spring and early Summer , whereas the Trumpet Vine is not evergreen and blooms second half of summer into fall?
If so, how would they go together?
And since they look so similar , there wouldnt be much of a difference would there?
Thanks for your answers!
What would happen if combining both Cross Vine and Trumpet Vine together on the same wall?
It would work fine . They're both fast-growing, and about the same size. Have done the same with Wisteria and Akebia , and Clematis fargesoides %26amp; Clematis terniflora , for the same reasons you mentioned .
Reply:im so glad i stumbled on to this question... something ive never thought of doing.... for me this is a good question!
Reply:You, would get a cross dressing trumpeter.LOL.

Looking for a decent vine?
i am looking to plant some kinda vine non fruit bearing along my fence line partly for looks and mostly for privcey i live in the desert of nevada and would like some advice please any one know what a fast thick growing vine might work?
Looking for a decent vine?
try ivy ... i also live in nevada and i have a fence coverd with ivy it looks good and keeps the neighbors out of my veiw
Reply:My friend has a Star Jasmine vine that grew pretty fast and thick. I think ivy does too.
Reply:Virginia creeper does really well here in the high desert where I live. Also hops, and trumpet vine ( Campsis radicans) have been good fast growing vines here. Others have done OK for me, but these are tough and grow quickly. Virginia creeper does have small inedible berries though.
Reply:Honeysuckle is another nice option. It grows quickly and densely.

If you cut a pumpkin off the vine when its green, will it turn orange?
i have a few pumpkins on our vines, and I'm afraid they won't be ready in time for Halloween! they are green right now, with just a subtle hint of orange, but the vine is diseased and dying quickly. I want to salvage the pumpkins before the vines die off and kill off the pumpkins. Can i cut them off now, and still turn orange?
If you cut a pumpkin off the vine when its green, will it turn orange?
Yes, and best left indoors in a cool dry area.
Reply:Well, you didn't specify where you live.....I am in northern wisconsin and we plucked our punkins about 3 weeks ago when they gave the frost warning on the news! We left them in the garage the one night and after that set them out on a picnic table...they were mostly orange but with some green and they did turn all orange...the 3 we left in the garden were completely green yet ...they did not get harmed by the frost that one night and we just plucked them the other day and they are all orange now. I hope this helps!
Reply:I believe the pumpkin turning orange is just the ripening of the fruit (yes it is a fruit). This is must like all the fruits that we eat at home (bananas, apples, etc) that are picked ahead of schedule and they ripen on the truck, in the supermarket and at your house until they are ready to consume.
So in response to your question, yes the pumpkin will turn orange on its own just as other fruit ripens.
Reply:Yes you can. It may take awhile to turn colors, but they should be nice and orange for Halloween!
