Vines wrapping around pole

A vine-covered house may look like it came out of a fairy tale, but it could turn out to be a nightmare for homeowners. Here's what you need to know.

You can make your own Wisteria Tree..... Just plant wisteria at the base of a large pole, as it vines out, take the vines and wrap them around pole, up and down the pole...keep doing this as it grows and that pole with the tightly wrapped vines becomes a trunk. In a few years you will have a Wisteria tree!

I love how the vines wrap around this tree

Vines and leaves wind their way up a wooden pillar near the dance floor.

Even in January! I love the Chalice Vine stems that twist and wrap around the pergola legs... wood poles and square stacks of stones. The Vine Pergola was a Roosevelt WPA project. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Vine Pergola, Miami, FL
