Could anyone tell me where I could get hold of a Russian vine? I'm
told they cover fences superbly.

many thanks in advance


Any garden centre, but beware, they grow rapidly, the name 'mile a
minute vine' is very apt and the stems, once they touch the ground,
root very easily, they produce a very heavy growth, and unless you
fence is very sound the weight will cause it to collapse. You MUST
keep it well trimmed otherwise it will take over.
