I've inherited what I think is an evergreen jasmine. It is growing up a
southeast facing wall. It is very green, tangled and bushy. It had a few
white jasmine like (looks and scent) flowers in the summer. It now looks
like it is dying, with big clumps of leaves going brown. It has not dried
out or become waterlogged. Any suggestions please? Should I cut it back?
TIA,

The summer Jasmine hangs on to its leaves most way through the winter then
sheds, mine went about 2 weeks ago, its normal. You can shorted the long
trails back now if required, leave short stubs of a few buds on each one,
(it will flower better)
