          I have one growing up through a conifer. It has grown in such a way that at the top it has been entwining through ITSELF and it looks as if the conifer is wearing a halo:loll: I can't wait to see what it looks like when it flowers.

            you don't have to train up the trunk a branch will do and a pole , plus growing a couple of feet away the plant gets more water
