I live in Louisiana and my chicken run is 100% enclosed in one type of metal fencing or another (2” x 4” fencing, some chicken wire & some hardware cloth). There are some wild vines already growing on the fencing. Also, one side has wild blackberry vines. I’d like to encourage more blackberries, but id also like to find a climbing vine to plant & hopefully let it grow over most of the fencing. I like the shade coverage that the vines would provide, but...I would also like something that grows easily in Louisiana and could also serve as a treat/fruit source like the blackberries do. I was thinking some type of grape or muscadine, but am absolutely & completely inept when it comes to choosing good plants and really need something that just wants to grow, climb & vine as far as it can without having to continually fuss over it.
Anyone have suggestions for something that will grow & climb over large areas, provide some type of fruit or cute (safe) flower, that will be easy to take care of and feel quite at home in hot, humid Louisiana??
This the run in question: I would like for something to climb up the side, but mostly grow to provide something along the line of a living roof:
