Cutting Back Mature Climbers
Cutting Back Mature Climbers
Question from Alex McLellan
138 0
Recent Winds have "disturbed" the Archways upon which my climbers are well established. They were already becoming top heavy especially the Jasmin. I now need to replace the 18 year old posts/archways, but it will be impossible to thread the new posts/rails between all the old growth.
Objectives:-
1. Replace posts and rails.
2. Cut back far enough to achieve Obj 1 but not kill off the climbers.
Q. How far back can I cut the climbers, Half the height, One third or is it dependent on the plant?
