Long grizzle - wrong roses!

This will be helpful as I start to train DJ on my trellis, although it doesn't sound promising for the DJs that I have planted under my dying cranberry tree. I should have probably planted something that throws off a *lot* of long canes to wind up the trunk. Maybe I'll drive some posts next to the tree and train them around them and back to the tree to get some lateral growth going... Dave, I have damned near NO experience with climbers except this Don Juan and the Sombreuil planted next to it, which seems to grow the same way. I don't know how others grow or even if there is a difference except in length, vigor, that sort of thing. I just pretty much just let these do what they do, benign neglect. I don't like the idea of training anything, although, the reason for the benign neglect is just lack of time. They are all in a tangle--the tangle is presently about 10 feet wide but I regularly hack off parts that break free and wave around. In any case, if you have this thing in full sun and give it tons of water it ought to be leaping out of the ground. Plenty of plant to do what you want with. |
