Carolina Jasmine
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? |
Carolina Jasmine
Carolina jessamine (not jasmine) can develop new growth at the base, but you'd
be better off planting something at the base to cover it. This year I am going to use dwarf yaupon holly at the base of my vines, particularly the evergreen vines like Carolina jessamine.
