Need to know if there is a lush vine that could grow on the trunk of a spruce tree in alberta, canada?

I have two very large blue spruce trees in my front yard and because they are so close to the communilty sidewalk I had to limb them over six feet off the ground. Not the look I want. So I want to know if there is any vines that can be planted at the bottom to bring some life back to my view. Also something that will last into fall in a cold climate -think central alberta, canada...

Be careful with vines becuase they require alot of attention to their rapid growth. They can even overtake the tree and choke it out. Basically, whatever you use, keep ann eye on it!
Reply:English Ivy or Virginia Creeper. But like the man above said watch them for once they take off they can over take the tree easily.
Reply:If it is deep shade try English Ivy, no flowers but very pretty. If you have some sun filtering through, I would try a honeysuckle vine. They like sun, but can also take some shade. They work well in Illinois which has very cold winters like Canada.
