Rats, can't remember the name!  There is a climber, begins with letter 'A', I think, which has slightly chocolate scented small flowers in spring but is an absolutely rapid climber, rather like a Jasmine but doesn't take over or strangle other things.  Hope someone might know what I'm talking about.  Also, it is evergreen so quite satisfying.  Sorry, if I get the chance will try to post name!   :-\ :D

It's called Akebia Quinata it can grow up to 40' in a single growing season & if it's not maintained it will smother anything & everything in it's path although if it is pruned anually it does look nice has a chocolate scented flowers & produces sometimes followed by edible fruit.

Thanks Baccy Man, have investigated and if I can find one I may have one for myself too. ;D

Thanks from me too!  Is exactly it!  Mine seems to grow very high but certainly does't appear to have damaged anything at ground level.  However, I do keep an eye on it! 

Best of luck with your planting Maggie :D

Thanks MB, found one today in local nursery, getting a few plants at the ready, hope it wont be too long before I can get going.
