For any designers out there, there are prefab cable grid options for green walls. Your idea would be more cost-effective for a small project, but for bigger pieces, check out Carl Stahl Decorcable or Greenscreen.

There's also a cool one called Billardiera longiflora that makes fun little purple bell-pepper fruits, and a dwarf evergreen Clematis called 'Joe' which has lovely foliage and blooms and gets to 4' sloooowly. Nice post, Fern. I particularly like it for vines that stay small and loose like one grows in pots. I'm bookmarking this!

It would look so pretty in bloom and when the pods form! Adriana -- That's a good idea too. Do you have a tree in mind? Melanthia — Oooh, good idea!

This would work perfectly for an espaliered fruit tree. I just have to get over my fear of drilling holes into a wall! I think you read my mind.
