vines
Wall-scaling greenery
Vines are plants with long, flexible stems that climb or trail along surfaces.
Some climb by tendrils or adhesive pads; others sprawl along the ground.
Grapes, ivy, and morning glories are vines.
The word extends to any climbing or trailing growth: Vines covered the old stone wall.
Vine also appears in compounds: grapevine, vineyard.
