| I had a Jackmani growing on a tree trunk with a birdhouse on top and over the winter the old trunk fell apart. Everything landed on the clematis that was growing around it. I've since replaced the trunk with a pressure treated post and I put mess wire around that for the clematis to grow around, but, the clematis at it's feet is a big tangled mess. Can I cut this all the way down at this late date? |

| Yes. I can't say how much it will do in your zone this year but cutting it back will not damage the plant. I would think it would have time to grow to full size and bloom but have never raised them in your zone. |

| Jackmanni should be cut back hard every year to do it's best. |
