I have one of those trumpet vines. It was 30ft up a black walnut choking it out. I keep cutting it back but it keeps sending out shoots. I thought it was a seedling on the other side of the house, but digging out the roots, so it didn't come back it was from the parent. Went 30 ft , under 2 sidewalks turned, went 10 ft until it hit the concrete porch and came up.We weren't supposed to have sunshine until the end of the week, but OOOPS! we got a nice sunny day by mistake. I'll take it!
I bought a Hummingbird Vine (aka, Trumpet Vine) at TSC. Bees like them. They can become invasive, but around here, I don't think they can get the chance because they die back enough in the winter. I'll plant it somewhere in the field, where it can grow up a standing dead tree, or else by the old house to grow up the light pole.
Hummingbird loves the blooms tho
