Question: I recently purchased a large honeysuckle vine that's
supported by three stakes in its container. When I install my trellis,
should I untie the vine from the stakes and drape it over the trellis
or should I leave the stakes in place?
Answer: The honeysuckle will wend its way through a trellis sooner or
later, but you could certainly leave the stakes intact for the time
being. Then once the vine has grown a bit more and become supported by
the trellis as well as the stakes, remove the ties holding it onto the
stakes. Also, in the meantime, you should loosen the ties if they
begin to bind as the vine grows thicker. As it grows, too, you may
want to gently direct or "train" the new growth toward the trellis so
that it finds it right away, pretty soon it will be scrambling all on
its own.
