What can I plant on this lattice? It faces West. I want something that will grow fast and preferably something that doesn't flower or shed. Any suggestions?

i was thinking maybe Wisteria (?sp)...or how about a grapevine....or some kind of fruit plant that way you can enjoy picking the vine while you're out there...i have raspberry and strawberry plants...in the summer the kids and i love sitting there and picking all the fresh fruit...

Aureus-humulus lupulous. Very pretty and you cut it down each spring so it climbs and gets new growth. Good for zone 4 and above.

Well most plants shed leaves in the fall unless you plant evergreens.
If you do not want flowers then an trailing climbing vine would work for you. Check into a good garden centre and they will suggest something. Many of the vines turn a burgandy ot gold colour in the fall and are beautiful. You have to take into consideration the zone and also how rapidly it grows. I would call a few and get their advise.
