Shrubs next to houses
Howdy all
We have a very large old (20 years?) clematis right next to the corner of our house. It grows across the upper half of the house frontage. The trunk is now quite thick. Concerned about the overall size of the plant, during the winter I determined to take the whole lot down, and replace it. However I wimped out after I'd got halfway - couldn't bear the thought of doing away with it completely. If I keep cutting the upper half of the plant down annually, so that it doesn't grow overall in size, is it reasonable to think that the root system will also be kept in check? Cheers John |
