I love climbing plants, such as Clematis, Honeysuckle etc., but my 2 year
old Jack Russell likes chewing the barks and they die. Actually she does
it
to everything apart from plants I have in containers, so is it OK to plant
climbers in containers ?

Barbra

The short answer is yes :~) it does however depend on which climbers, how
big the pots are and how often you will be able to repot.
However given your reason for wanting to do it the best solution may be to
simply remove most of the bottom of the pot so that the climbers can root
into the ground under, it will save a lot of hassle and watering problems
later.

You don't get this sort of problem with a cat.........

Oh yes? Come and have a look at what the neighbours' cats
have done to the stem of my .Metasequoia glyptostroboides.

Are you quite sure? The trunk of mg is naturally deeply fissured,
rough and fibrous, looking very much as if something has been
sharpening claws there.

In the case of the top of my fence panels, it WAS cats sharpening their
claws :-((
