What's the fastest growing

[MWB]

evergreen, flowering, climber? One that will grow on a trellis & not need staking or the like.

Not ivy's.

There are many, many forms of clematis which will suit you.

[wendilla]

passion flower and I get fruit on mine .I cut it right back last year but it is as mad as ever again also any clamatis but you are not in uk are you ?

[blackietwo]

try a clematis grandiflora. will flower in spring, cover trees, fences, roofs ect. myleen is paticulary pretty. although not evergreen. but clematis freckles is i think, with tulip type flowers hanging down in winter

[MWB]

No, wendilla, I'm in NZ.

The clematis sounds good. Does it grow faster than jasmine?

[blackietwo]

yes the garndiflori types can be quite prolific in their growth

[wendilla]

Thought you were as from the good morning thread. yes much quicker than jasmine. Out of all mine the passion fruit passiflora has been the best grower goes all round my fencing.

[MWB]

Is it like an ivy though, wendilla?

That gets so thick, even when kept in check?

Russian Vine is absolutely rampant but not for a small area. It has white flowers.

[wendilla]

passion flower or clamatis does not cling to walls or fence like ivy .It is easy to trim back.
