I am looking for is what variety of vines would be best, or is there
anything else I should consider? The fence will be 105 feet in length so I
am not restricted to one kind.

Location is Miami, Florida zone 10b.

Thanks in advance for any comments,

Hello MC

I am not sure what soil you are on and what aspect but have you considered espalier fruit? If you get good sun then Apply, pear, Peach or perhaps Citrus would look nice?

There is a good CD available from Complete Gardens that will select plants from criteria you put in. http://www.complete-gardens.co.uk/

I covered it on my site after doing an independant review. I believe there will be a US release this year which will also in time show the zones.

Hope this helps and if you want to discuss in real time then I have a chat facility for gardening subjects on www.landscapejuice.com
