Moving a clematis report
A month or so ago I asked about moving a clematis cirrhosa which was
growing on a fence which had to be replaced. It was in a pot but had rooted through into the gravelly earth below. On Sunday I dug it up, not getting all the roots but a good clump. Some of you had suggested breaking the pot and planting the whole root ball. What I've actually done is to dig a hole and sink the pot about two-thirds of its depth into the soil. I have tied it in to the trellis on top of the new fence. Not the best maybe but it would have been difficult for me to dig a big enough hole to put the whole root in. So far it looks OK, rather a tanled mess but not droopy or sad-looking. If it dies back I'll have to cut hard back and hope for new growth but I think it's OK. Thanks to all who gave advice.
