To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
In early spring cut back the previous year'sstems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground leveland apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rottedgarden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
