WOW!!
Yes Clematis, I wonder if our native variety will be okay here.
Somebody just told me that by planting a Mulberry tree it helps; how do you say this?;... defuse ? lessen the problem.
hmm, soy beans, I did want to have another go at growing these.....

Very much apreciated!!!
Thank you

I counted 3 climbers in Ducks list, clematis, honeysuckle, and Virginia creeper.

clematis have so many colors/varieties but might be hard to find. i don't know how well any of them do when shaded.

i'd never willingly plant VC any more than it is already around here (and having gotten rid of it after extensive manual removal).

i have no experience with climbing honeysuckles, but the idea is giving me nightmares after seeing what bush versions are like (i think we have three types, white, pink and orange flowers). when the berries are on and have been going for a bit the birds actually seem to get drunk on them.

There are a lot of clems that will grow in shade, some prefer it.

I agree about Virginia creeper, definitely not for a small space/trellis.
