 Re: Vines up trees? Yes or no poll?
Climbers and trees are two plants that just don't mix. When I was working as a utility arborist, it was the one way to make me double my quotation (after all, your removing 2 plants).
The only curious benefit I have experienced of a climber in a tree was seeing a conifer with bright crimson flowers. This was in fact a Cupressus macrocarpa with a Bouganvillea growing throughout the crown.
The following attached article seems to follow my sentiments and offer some evidence why climbers should be avoided. |
