Editing Vine (section)

== Horticultural climbing plants ==
The term "vine" also applies to [[Cucurbitaceae]] like cucumbers where botanists refer to creeping vines; in commercial agriculture the natural tendency of coiling tendrils to attach themselves to pre-existing structures or [[espalier]]s is optimized by the installation of [[Trellis (architecture)|trellis]] netting.

Gardeners can use the tendency of climbing plants to grow quickly. If a plant display is wanted quickly, a climber can achieve this. Climbers can be trained over walls, pergolas, fences, etc. Climbers can be grown over other plants to provide additional attraction. Artificial support can also be provided. Some climbers climb by themselves; others need work, such as tying them in and training them.
