My hummingbird vines a danger???

19 years ago

Hello! I have an ugly utility pole, so I planted a cross vine at the bottom of it. The hummingbirds immediately came to the blooms.

My friend added a trumpet vine that was in her yard to it. So, now there are both growing up it. The hummers love it.

But....Is this a danger? Am I going to start a fire??

This pole has both power and phone coming to it, and has an actual 'box' on it, too.

I've seen the vines all around town just like this. When the utility comp comes and prunes the trees, the vines stay.

I don't care how big and obnoxious it gets. I just want to know if it can catch fire????

Thanks!
