rottenjonny Posted March 16, 2018 Hey everyone! Can someone recommend a vigorous climber that I could use to block out a neighbour. I'm looking for something that also has some use be it medicinal or simply gastronomic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MountainGoat Posted March 16, 2018 where do you live? HWBW is fast and has beautiful flowers.... plus it has its uses... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMooseZeus Posted March 16, 2018 My HBWR is growing faster than i can keep up with, it wen't from about half my height to my height and a half in a week... Its in a medium sized pot shared with another HBWR... Would highly recommend planting a few seeds along the fence or wall If not, bamboo can get crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lower Hunter I have a caapi indoors that is going well. the leaves are a long way apart though so I'm not sure of it will be too sparse for using as a blockout. Also this side of the house gets blinding full afternoon sun all year. caapi edit: wow just looked up passiflora that's amazing flower Edited March 16, 2018 by rottenjonny 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1208 Posted March 17, 2018 Passiflora incarnata is the one typically grown for its uses, only plant it if you're certain you want it, I put mine in the ground at my parents place and I've been trying to kill it for a few years now, will always come back after a bit of rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottenjonny Posted March 19, 2018 Done. Passiflora's incoming. Has ticked both the medicinal and gastronomic boxes. win win 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
