Hi NT,

You could try things like espaliered fruit trees, or 'ballerina' apples that
grow pretty much off a central upright stem and don't spread out, dwarf
varieties of fruit trees - i know you said climbers, i'm just tossing a few
other options in - hardy kiwi fruit, banana passionfruit, grapes, then
there's annuals like pumpkins, cucumbers etc that can be trained up walls
for summer crops?

Hi there.

I would like some advice on planning a planting. I need to cover 4
walls with climbers - one each of east, west north and south facing.
I'm in Britain. I'd like lots of edibles, and plants that look nice
too. And just in case I havent asked enough already, ideally I'd like
fruit (etc) that would store well too.

So far I know I want apples. Passionfruit has been suggested, I quite
like that one. Manchurian kiwi also maybe for the north wall... there
my ideas cease.

Would there be a problem with planting an akebia quinata? Any other
suggestions welcome! Thanks.

Regards, NT
