Climber to fill gaps in branches

QuestionsClimber to fill gaps in branches
Patricia Doran Staff asked 14 years ago

Hi Gerry. I have a well established holly tree (30+ years) but it has widely spaced branches with only light cover of leaves. It appears to be perfectly healthy. I’m wondering if I could grow a climber through it? I don’t want to choke it but I do want to fill the gaps a bit because it’s the one spot where I can be overlooked from the top of the double decker buses going by. I would prefer something which is at its best in mid summer. What would you suggest?
