Suggestions on Purchasing Trellis

19 years ago

I have some very tall star jasmine and potato vines and I want to purchase a new trellis. The one I have is home made and has seen better days. I am looking for a tall wooden or metal trellis that is free standing and can be placed in the ground. Can anyone recommend a place in the Bay Area to purchase a nice trellis? It is a Victorian house, so if there is a place with a wide selection would be prefect. Thank you.

Also, other than my potato vine, what other vines grow tall and well in shady areas?

I've found nice trellises at Half-Moon Bay Nursery. The SF Flower and Garden Show is coming up next weekend and there will be lots to choose from there.

Vines for shade....
Akebia quinata, not much in the flower dept., but nice leaves.
There's also some Clematis that will do well in shade. Check out Chalk Hills web site. He has recommendations.
Climbing hydrangea
or you could espalier an Abutilon

Another vine for shade, which I've had my eye on, is silvervein creeper (Parthenocissus henryana). I haven't tried it yet, but the pictures of it are beautiful. It's also supposed to be rather more restrained (20 ft. or so rather than 50-60 ft.) than its relatives, Virginia creeper and Boston ivy.
