toppled clematis
I have an old (no idea how old), lovely clematis (Montana, I believe)
that toppled when the 5' tree stump that was supporting it finally gave way in the wind. It's main stem is about 2" in diameter. We're hoping to save it, building a trellis to support it. The main problem is that it is hugely overgrown, leaving lots of tangled, dead-looking vines in the wintertime. So we're hoping to somehow rejuvenate it as we re-support it. It's also not obvious how we might transfer the giant tangle onto a new trellis. Any suggestions of how to proceed? We're wondering if it will survive a severe pruning at this time of year (blossoms disappeared a month or so ago). If so, we might try cutting it back to 5 or six large vines that we can wind onto the trellis. tia, Rob |
