| So I understand that to make a fuller plant, you have the keep pinching the straight shoots, in order to 2 new shoots to form. Here are my questions:
1- Where to pinch the shoot? Anywhere? 2- How long should the 2 new shoots be before I pinch them in order to encourage new shoots in each of them (4 new shoots) and so on? 3- When to stop pinching so the plant (in my case a Lonicera sempervirens) can produce flowers? Thanks again |

| Honeysuckles tend to bunch up anyway, so promoting branching not a good idea. They also tend to flower on the ends of the branches. The value of vines on structures is to form a softening tracery over the structure: work on spreading the plant's branches out to provide a good coverage instead of heading it back. |
