VINES<br />

Some vines grow high in the tree canopy, others attach to shrubs, and some cover the ground. Vines fill<br />

spaces within and between trees and shrubs, thus enhancing life requisites available for wildlife. Some<br />

form dense thickets; some are evergreen. Some vines bear nectar-producing flowers important to bees,<br />

other pollinating insects, and hummingbirds. Vines provide excellent shelter and places for reproduction.<br />

Most species provide fruits that are eaten by a large variety <strong>of</strong> birds and mammals. Vines are excellent<br />

fence plants. However, when growing on small trees and shrubs, some vines become so prolific<br />

in growth that they strangle the stems and cover the foliage <strong>of</strong> the underlying plant.<br />
