Wild grape on the fence

Fences are usually not strong enough

Wild wine can be several meters tall and just as wide - in good locations, growth heights of 10 meters and more are not uncommon. In addition, the perennial plant lignifies over the years and forms very stable trunks and branches. For a greening of standard wire mesh and wooden fences with wild wine, this means that the On the one hand, fences are too low for the enormous vigor of these plants and, on the other hand, they are not stable enough. Older virgin vines can reach a considerable weight and tear down any fence, no matter how stable.

Observe neighborhood law

Before any planting, it should also be clarified who the fence actually belongs to - if it is a border fence between two properties. If it is your neighbor's fence, he or she could simply remove his property if the worst comes to the worst and replace it with another boundary - including the one you planted and possibly over years

lovingly cared for Wild wine.

Pay attention to a suitable location

As long as all these points have been clarified and nothing stands in the way of the fence being topped by wild wine, you should still first try the Suitability of the location check. Wild wine needs a place that is as sunny, warm and sheltered as possible (especially protected from the wind!), Ideally facing south or south-east. In addition, the wild wine loves loose, well-drained, slightly moist and nutrient-rich soil.
