Can I save my Jasmine?

Jasmine is pretty robust I’d prune it back hard and it’ll pretty much recover and regrow fairly quickly.

You don’t say what variety of Jasmine., but they all respond well to a good prune from time to time.
If it’s a summer flowering variety, now not a bad time to prune as they put on a lot of new growth in the spring.
If it’s winter flowering, you will lose the flowers for a season. Remember to water well and feed next spring.

MerylStreep, legally you are not allowed to put anything on a fence belonging to a neighbour.

I'd suggest that you prune it right down to a few feet, then install a self-supporting trellis on your side. It will soon recover, though, if the roots are unaffected.

Thank you.
J52 it’s a Trachelospermun.
Hetty58 My neighbour loves the jasmine coming over the top of her fence.

I had to cut down my Trachelospermum earlier this year to about half its growth. It wasn’t doing too well after the early spring drought and bits appeared dead. I’ve really got it in the wrong place, but I like it where it is planted.
It soon put on new growth and has flowered better than ever. Lots of water and feed in the spring.

That’s also known as Star Jasmine and is evergreen. Quite expensive to buy and very beautiful. I quite understand why you would not want to lose it, but I believe it an grow very tall. I don’t think you have any choice but to cut it, unless it is planted away from the fence as it should be in which case it could perhaps just be pulled back.

The good news is that now is the time to take cuttingswhich you could do as a back up.

Lots of us would be living with very boring plain fences if we followed the letter of the law Hetty! Good luck with your jasmine Meryl.

I had one of these growing in a pot until about a month ago when I decided to put it in a really big pot. Blimey it was a right palaver getting it out of it's pot, had to cut off loads of roots. I thought I'd lose this years flowers but surprise, surprise once in it's new enormous pot it has really taken off. loads of new growth and so many flowers, it's wonderful. So yes you can take cuttings but I'd risk pulling it away from the fence and wrap in bubble wrap to protect it while the new fence goes up and ask the fencer nicely to take care around that particular plant. good luck.

Hetty, I wish my neighbour didn't screw stuff to MY fence but I I don't want an argument with them as am already trying to get them to look after their dog so it's barking doesn't drive us nuts!

mine don't mind being hacked at either

Ours is in a large pot. Looked dead as could be a few months ago and DH all set to put it in the wheelie bin! However, I cut it back really hard and now it’s full of green leaves and shoots. I think they’re very hardy plants myself.
