Fruiting Vines
For most, the climbing habit of vines makes them impressive enough. However, when vine plants can produce delicious fruits as well, they become an even more valuable addition to the landscape. As you’ll soon see, there are several fruiting vines that you can grow on a fence or any other garden structure.
Grapes
Grape vines are some of the most popular plants that bear fruit and grow like a vine. Some gardeners grow these vines to eat their fruits raw, while others raise grape vines to create wine. In either case, you should give your grapevines a chance to grow on a fence that faces south and receives plenty of sunlight each day.
Kiwi
Kiwis are some of the most nutritious fruits on earth, and the variety commonly known as hardy kiwi is one of the most popular. As their name suggests, hardy kiwis can withstand the cold, surviving as far north as hardiness zone 3. This hardiness makes kiwi vines an ideal fence plant option for many throughout the United States.
Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit vines require a hotter climate, but if you can provide the right temperature and environment, this plant will reward you with some fruits that are more common throughout Central and South America. At most, these plants reach about 10 feet tall and require a fence or trellis for support.
Tomatoes
Tomato plants come in two main forms: vining tomatoes and bush tomatoes. The vining tomato variety is an excellent plant option to grow in front of a fence. Tomatoes also prove to be one of the easiest plants to grow successfully, even if you have minimal gardening experience.
Cucumber
As is true for tomatoes, cucumber plants can be either bushes or vining. Vining cucumbers often grow larger and produce more fruits, meaning that if you choose a vining cucumber plant for your fence garden, you can expect some large yields when harvest time arrives.
