One of the Climbing Hydrangea
species/cultivars(Schizophragma spp), Parthenocissus
spp, or Ampelopsis brevipedunculata var. elegans would
both all do well in Portland, Oregon. Check to see if
they are considered invasive in Portland, the berries
are attractive to wildlife, and would probably
germinate in moist woodland conditions. Ampelopsis
and Parthenocissus do not appear to be
problematic/invasive in drier mediterannean climates.
