Re: Vine for wooden utility pole

Autumn clematis would grow there, along with other annual vines as well if
some supporting wire( such as part of fencing wire) were used to give space
for the vine to not touch the pole and give support.  Native lonicera would
be nice if it is out in the sun.  Hyacinth bean (Lablab) seems to grow any
where the soil is half way good. Even my choyote vine might have grown for
you.  You may have to remove part of the soil where the pole has been for a
long time.  Some times the creosote seeps into the soil.  Try and see.
