When planting my jasmine vine, remove support and tie straight to trellis or leave support on?

Is it the same for planting my coral honeysuckle vine? I'm planting those next to our chain link fence.

Depending on your vine. Personally I like to leave the support in place and gently guide the vines to the fence or trellis. Once they has established growth then I remove the support. Good luck to you and your vines.
Reply:EDITED: I wouldn't tie the actual tendrils they are far too delicate just train the branches of the vine.

I usually leave the support in and tie some of the vine to the trellis, once it is established I remove the support very gently...


The honeysuckle will follow the sun....hopefully your fence is in the same direction...It can be trained but the natural order of plants is to grow towards the sun.


I know this because my neighbor planted in on the fence between our property her side is shaded mine is not so it grows over into and in my yard and it keeps me busy controlling it.


Subject: Why Do Plants Grow Towards The Sun


Plants grow towards the sun as part of a complex series of responses of


plants to their environment. the primary reason plants grow towards the


sun is to produce food through the process of photosynthesis. I have


included a link to a site that explains these responses in a logical


manner.

Reply:When planting, select several of the strongest shoots and prune them


back to half their length to encourage more new shoots to grow from


the base.


As a vine grows, keep it in check. If you want it to be compact,


continually prune terminal growth during the growing season. If you


want it to ramble, cut to the base all but three or four of the strongest


shoots. Be sure to prune to let light reach the base of the vine or it will


become bushy on top and bare below.
Reply:I removed my support and gently tied the tendrils where I wanted them to start. The honeysuckle will find the fence on it's own, but if you want it to go in a certain direction then you might tie it to the fence to train it in the that direction.
