That's the beauty of Xeriscaping...... ;-)
I want to do more of it as time goes on, but so far,
only Lantana and wild grapes.

Wild grapes have made a fantastic fence! Just wish they did not
lose their leaves in the winter. :-P And now they are climbing
up into the post oaks!

Wild grapes...now there's someting that I have been thinning out a lot.
I've had problems with the stuff covering the canopies of several oak trees.
The grapevines were as big around as my arm. I don't mind a little here and
there on fences...if I could just keep it there.

ROFL!
And here I planted them on purpose because I had no joy with the
honeysuckles. ;-D

It is a trick, but my chickens like to eat them. G

Just cut the base and the leaves will dry out and not kill your
trees.......

I'm still wondering if they will be any good for dolmas as I've not
tried that yet, and the vines are fabulous for wreaths if you are in to
crafts. ;-) Something to do with the excess anyway.

They are rather prolific!
