    Clematis virginiana, viorna also looks really cool.

    Choose a local vining Lonicera and it should be very happy to do this. I prefer to grow mine straight up the tree without a decomposing support, though.

    Rosa setigera is a nice climbing rose native to OH (looking at mine on the arbor outside my front window right now; took a couple years to go from a tiny bare-root stick to reaching about 8’ of climbing height).

    Virgins bower. I have it on my fence/ it’s so pretty

    I just got crossvine to climb at my house. It has really cool flowers and leaves turn a nice hue for the fall

    Are native *ipomoea* ground creepers or would they climb a structure like this?

    try virginia creeper or trumpet vine

    the ladder looks like it’s being overtaken by the plant

    **Passiflora Incarnata**! The blooms are other-worldly and very pretty.

    ETA: and, they produce maypops (edible fruit)

    A thought: Plan to prune the vines that get up into the tree so they don’t wrap branches and damage the tree.

    Carolina Jessamine. I don’t know if it grows that far north but it’s native in the southeast.

    Depends on your area. In mine I would choose passionflower.
