Evergreen fast growing climbers

| Hello, I am trying to find out if there is any fast growing evergreen climbers that can be planted against a west facing wall to provide cover for a very large, intrusive footbridge that has been erected next to our property. Ideally it should be able to reach great heights, 10mtrs plus, but would be interested in anything that could give us some privacy and sound proofing! We have just planted 40 willow plants that should help with screening, but need alot more quick, large growing plants.
Thanks for your help

| Denise, at the very least, we need to know where you are located to make suggestions. In many areas, the list of evergreen climbers is very short and none come to mind that would rapidly achieve the height you want - at least none that I would recommend with a clear conscience. You might be better off with some narrow evergreen screening but what that might be is determined best by where you live. Fill out your Member Page with at least your climate zone and growing conditions or amend your request with this info. The more we know the better we can help you. |

| Ron, again more information is needed. How large a trough? What kind of drainage? How large a plant? Sun, shade? How hardy does it need to be? Is evergreen important? The more information you can provide initially, the more likely you are to get some meaningful suggestions. Also, it is not considered good form to tack on a separate request to an existing thread, specially one that has a direct send to the OP's email. It's the internet equivalent of interrupting a conversation. Start a new one. |

Hello,
I'm from the salem area of Oregon and I am also in need of an evergreen climber.
It needs to be drought tolerant, at least 8ft tall, and will be planted in full sun exposure in clay soil.
I need to cover up a chain link fence about 20' in length and 6' in height.
Thanks for any ideas!! :) |

| jollie hanna - is honeysuckle evergreen in your area? Or there's Clematis armandii (which has rule the world tendencies in my zone). For a solid wall, and a friendly zone, there's Ficus pumila, jasmine, Trachelospermum and (gasp!) Hedera canariensis or helix. Please note: 'fast growing' can also mean untold trouble further along. In the 'right' place each of these can turn into a home-owner's nightmare. For me - each of these is a weed species. |
