Description

This experiment was conducted in order to research the climbing performances of Trachelospermum jasminoides var. pubescens. Five plots were set: a wooden wall plot was prepared for adhesion; a double mesh fence plot for twining; a plot whose lower half was a wooden wall and whose upper half consisted of fence; a plot formed in the opposite manner; a plot which was composed of double mesh fences with a wooden panel inserted between them, the latter three being prepared both for adhesion and twining. The climbing speed of shoot was faster on the fence plot and the panel inserted fence plot than on others. Aerial roots were emerged on both adhering shoots and climbing shoots, but the number of roots were greater in the former case than in the latter. Several twigs which adhered to the lower wooden panel twined the upper fence and climbed. These facts indicate that T. jasminoides var. pubescens selects the method of climbing according to the situation of the vertical structure such as walls or fences.
