Hi Gerry, Hope you can help with query re above; I want to cover a sun facing brick wall of approx 6ft high x 70ft long – and liked the look of this climber. I have a few questions which hopefully you can help me with; Do you think it would be suitable for the Irish/Meath climate Will it only suit a sun facing wall. Is it very vigorous – i.e. will it grow feet out from the wall ! even with pruning etc. I have only been able to source it from an online UK nursery which proves expensive when you factor in shipping etc – any suggestions for locating it here in Ireland. Finally ! – is there anything in particular you would suggest when planting to give it a good start and should one plant every 10 ft or so suffice. Many thanks in anticipation. Rgds, Dec1.
