What vegetables and fruits would grow well on a trellis?

Question

As in on a vine, or climbing plants

Answer 1

--Any crop that vines: watermelon, muskmelon, honeydew, cucumber, winter squashes, pumpkin, gourds.  It is best to keep the plants tied up once they start to set fruit.  Chose varieties that have smaller fruits so the weight is not so great (i.e. dumling squash, yellow doll watermelon, baby bear pumpkins, etc.)

--Beans

--Peas

--Nasturium (I know that it's a flower, but the flowers taste great as an addition to salads.)

--Tomatoes

--Tomatillos (used in Salsa Verde)

--There are a few types of apples and pears that are designed for trellises.  I don't know if they still carry them, but I know that Jung Seed in Randolph, WI had them a few years ago.

--Grapes
