Vines - Hacienda Creeper Mulberry They make excellent shade treesHacienda Creeper is a self climbing, deciduous vine with bright green palmate leaves. With adequate fall chilling, the foliage will turn a deep red color. It forms a dense screen when grown on a chain link fence, and is also suitable for use as a ground cover or espalier. It is adapted to full sun or part shade, poor soils and some drought. In low deserts such as Phoenix some light shade is preferred. Can grow to 50ft long. Semi deciduous in Phoenix.
