How much would it cost to cover our baseball field's fence with Virginia Creeper?

I believe this is what is suppose to be used as ivy like at Wrigley Field? Anybody have experience doing this to their fencing?





Thanks... from Minnesota.

I wish I could give you Virginia Creeper. I live in Jacksonvill, Fl and the stuff is growing all over my yard...can't get rid of it. Wouldn't it be nice if I could mail it to you and then I'd be rid of it? It dies back in the winter if we happen to have a freeze of longer than an hour or two and comes back with a vengeance in the spring.
Reply:The Virginia Creeper is a very easy vine to grow even in dry climates with a little bit of water. I can only imagin how crazy that vine would get in minnesota. It resists both heat and cold and looks very green and lush. Excellent for privacy.





Now as for the price, I wouldnt spend a dime on the plant but invest in some pots and dirt. As I said this is a very resiliant plant. Just cut off a few inches off of someone elses Viginia Creeper, hopefully with their permission but who would know if you just cut a piece.





Make the cuts at a 45 degree angle. Place in a glass of water and leave it in a sunny but climate controlled area. Once some white fiberous roots start to grow from the bottom of the vine, plant it in to a pot and leave in a sunny area for 1-2 months, or until plannting season comes around again. Then just plant your newely grown virginia creeper every 3-6 feet down the fence line and by the end of the growing season that fence will be overran by vines.
Reply:Well, Virginia Creeper gets to be a pretty big vine (50-60').


But it is spectacular in the fall, and one of our own natives.





The question is do you want to do it fast (more plants and $$)


or cheap (set out fewer plants, give them time to spread).
