Russian Vine

Can anyone recommend this plant?

Not me muchlove but if you want to cover the whole street in about a month, then that's your plant! It's not known as 'mile a minute' plant for nothing.

I'm with Robinia on this one muchlove, it's ok if you want to cover a large ugly structure, like a panzer tank, in a short space of time but being deciduous, you will be left with a mass of tangled twiggs in the shape of a tank, come winter!

I agree wholeheartedly about the plant, it's pants.
However a panzer tank is a thing of great beauty and shouldn't be covered.

We had some of this plant to cover a hideous area and did the trick wonderfully. The only problem is to keep it in check with a snip using garden shears. But we don't complain about cutting the lawn every week or two and this plant is no different.
