Yes ,,,,,,,even more shade ......surely if you want to see the sun the
answer is to remove the Conifer
Probably only Honeysuckle would grow up it as Clematis like lots of moisture
at the roots

This now 10' tall conifer unfortunately casts a lot of shade

and with a climber over it, it will cast even more

Thanks to you both, except you missed that I intend to kill the conifer
by ringing the bark, like a tree. That would do it, wouldn't it ? The
fronds would drop, and I'd just be left with upright, natural supports
that would let lots of light through. (We're in the half-hardy
north-west, incidently.)

Regards.

Roo.
