Many climbers are tough and resilient, but they are not natural vines inasmuch as they lack aids in the form of suckers, twining stems, modified leaves or tendrils to help them cling and ascend. They seek the sun­light, but because they are substantial and weighty, they crave support of some kind or another, a requirement that in­evitably takes up more of the gardener’s time.

Mention the word vine and Mr Average will picture bunches of luscious grapes. If he’s had a few drinks, he may already be confusing the word with its celebrated product – the fermented fruit juice we all know and mostly love. But vines them­selves are not confined to varieties of grape – cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, char­donnay and the rest of that ilk – they are key floral elements in your tropical garden, not least in festoon­ing pergolas, climbing trellises or covering expanses of drab wall.

We love the sun but we dislike the high humidity that often accompanies it. At least that seems to be the general consen­sus. While flora thrive in muggy, equatorial cli­mates, most humans do quite the opposite. If you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself lethargic, sticky and frizzy-haired. There truly is little enjoyment to be had when the air is so thick you feel as if you’re wading through honey.
