Default Passiflora Query

"aardvark" wrote in message ...
I have a long Passiflora growing along my wall. My rosemary bush, a bay tree
in a pot and a small try which are adjacent to it have all started to dy; in
all cases the passiflora has jumped into them and started to climb throught
hem. I thouhg nothing of it until now, but does anyone think they could be
connected - is the passiflora poisoning these other plants?

Any advice or observations appreciated greatly, as wlays!

best regards

rob


Not poison I think - the only plant I have read about as poisoning
other plants is the walnut and even that afaik only inhibits rather
than killing. But it could be killing them by shading them out.
Rosemary & bay need all the sun they can get in this country. so i'd
move the bay pot and cut the passiflora right back off the rosemary. I
assume "try" is a typo for something else but whatever it is would
probably thank you for some extra light too
