I planted Carolina Jasmine 3 years ago in an effort to cover my pergola.
The vines have climbed nicely and I now have a very thick cover on the top
of the structure. Unfortunately, the area from the ground to the top is
thin and can be easily seen through. If I drastically cut back the top
area, will the side areas become fuller? Or am I destined to have a see
through area? If cutting back is the answer, when would be a good time and
how much should I cut?
