It looks like a bit crazy idea, but Vitis (or similar plant growing as a liana) looking for natural support may equally well use Heracleum as such? Vitis vinifera is a liana growing up to 30 m in length, with leaves up to 20 cm long and broad. There are likely many problems here (e.g., proper timing), however. What do you think about usefulness of such form concurrents?
Dear Ms. Motyka,
Sounds interesting and made me think loudly of other climbers/vines as well. What about certain (by assumption) native Clematis or Laburnum species, Hedera helix, Lonicera caprifolium even Ephedra campylopoda [E. foeminea] (if native), though the natural site conditions are very much different. Just a thought, of course... All become quickly spread and are fast-growing species.
And, what about (by assumption non-)native Parthenocissus spp. or another ornamental Wisteria sp.? If possible, these species will give the landscape various color and dynamic.
Junipers are not vines, but some prostrate shrubs of the genus Juniperus are known for their widespread ecology and competitiveness, such as J. sabina...
It is a good start point!
Best regards.
