Looking for a vine suggestion

20 years ago

I have a pecan trunk about 10' high. We were going to finish cutting it all the way down, but I thought of growing a vine on it. I want something that is NON-invasive, that won't grow runners underground that is well behaved. Fruit is my first choice, but would also love a flower that blooms all summer and attracts bees and butterflys. Any suggestions?

I would go with a 12-15 ft. rose. Maybe an Austin rose.

Large flowered Clematis have 2 bloom seasons. Will Goodwin is a lovely "blue".
