Vines
Although not always as conspicuous, vines are everywhere at the Scott Arboretum, most being planted in Cosby Courtyard, the Entrance Garden, Terry Shane Teaching Garden, and the fence along Cunningham Field. They are as ornamental as they are practical, and are used to climb across fences, cover walls, and sometimes hide utilities. Significant holdings of hardy vines include Clematis, Schizophragma, and Wisteria. Some of the other climbers and twiners that can be seen around the Arboretum are selections of Actinidia, Bignonia, Hydrangea anomala and Lonicera sempervirens. Vines that do not self adhere to buildings are either trained on wires or structures, or for perennial vines like Clematis, planted to grow on other shrubs.
