Trellis killing plants...
NB. I'm we are not great gardeners!
Please be gentle with us! Have googled but have been unable to find an answer... We erected some trellis panels last year and every thing that touched them wilted and turned black. We had put some clematis, in pots, largish ones at the bottom and they started to grow quite nicely, up the bamboo in the pots. When they started to climb the trellis, the leaves wilted and turned black. Interestingly we had (very artistically:-) intertwined some small branches, that we had from a pruning exercise, into the trellis. The leaves of the clematis on the branches were just fine. This is what alerted us to the problem. Also adjacent to the new trellis we have a very large, healthy clematis. When it started to climb the trellis we got the same effect. Withering leaves etc... Is this perhaps something to do with the treatment on the trellis? We bought them probably about 3/4 years ago, already treated. Have I got to just chop 'em up for firewood? Or is there something I don't know about clematis and trellis? Many thanks, Roy |
