Aloha Andrew,
First vanilla comes from a vine ( It's an arborial orchid ). They can be trained to grow up just about any tree or large bush that allows about a fifty percent sunlight through to the main trunk. I currently have mine going up a small italian juniper in my yard. If you live REAL close to the coastline you'll have to be careful of airborne salt-spray. You'll have to give them a healthy freshwater spray to rinse them off before they get burn scabs on them. Other than that, I would recommend that you check some of your local orchid societies in your area. I got my plant from a vendor that was participating in an orchid show near to me. If you want to have your vanilla orchid actually produce the vanilla pods you'll have to do an on-line search for the technique. My first crop produced 18 vanilla beans. .... Just my two-cents, and good luck on your search ... Kaulepuaa
