Pruning and protecting a Bower of Beauty
Hello,
Does anyone have any tips/tricks for tip pruning a bower of beauty climber (pandorea jasminoides)? It is growing up a 2.5 metre south facing wall in an unshaded north facing garden that is very hot and sunny (to say the least). It is now almost four months since it was planted and several shoots have reached the top and I was wondering if it is best to prune them now to promote new shoots/growth below? Also, I understand bowers can be very frost sensitive. Does anyone have any advice on frost protection? Thanks very much for your help with his (and all the other information I have gleaned from previous topics). Regards, Ryan |

ups.com... Hello, Does anyone have any tips/tricks for tip pruning a bower of beauty climber (pandorea jasminoides)?

It is now almost four months since it was planted and several shoots have reached the top and I was wondering if it is best to prune them now to promote new shoots/growth below? in general pruning such a thing is good because it promotes more shoots & therefore bushiness. (i can't comment on bower of beauty in particular). Also, I understand bowers can be very frost sensitive. Does anyone have any advice on frost protection? i have a few frost woes myself :-) you can cover it & keep it covered until it's thawed out after a frost. kylie Thanks very much for your help with his (and all the other information I have gleaned from previous topics).
