Train blackberries along the top trellis, very much a deterrent, and the
added bonus of those delicious blackberry and apple pie's.
You could plant the Sloe, which has wonderful hidden spikes, these can be
trained as semi standard and wound round trellis, again you have a fruit to
use so both have 2 values.
I suppose, being boring, you could paint trellis with antivandal paint,
which doesnt dry and leaves a sticky mess on stray fingers?

Hi

I have a four foot dry stone (and as long as a terraced house width)
wall backing onto a park. The wall has a two foot trellis attached to
it to raise the height a bit.
My chav neighbour uses the park as a quick exit into the town, and
uses my fence as a hand rail as he hops his bit of the wall. My fence
used to be straight, now it leans my way about 30 degrees.

Can anyone recommend a climbing, *SPIKEY*, attractive plant which will
deter the neighbour from grabbing hold of my fence, and one which will
grow over my back wall and trellis. I was thinking of a white
climbing rose like Rambling Rector. Is this a good choice? I would
like a spikey plant which will grows quite quickly but doesnt end up
looking like a huge gorse hedge!

I am a keen but useless gardener. To cover a wall would i plant one
little plant and then let it spread out over the whole wall, or plant
a series of plants?

Thanks for any advice
