Johnson City, TN 37604Q.Trumpet Creeper’s method of attachment
I have planted several trumpet creepers against a metal mobile home. They are rapidly growing now, but have no "suction cups" to use for securing against the vertical surface. I remember trumpet vines as having a sort of very 'tight' appendages which attach to the substrate surface and hold the vine in place to affect its adhesion to the vertical surface. Why are there none visible on my newly planted vines?

August 10, 2017Q.Removing trumpet vines
How do I remove trumpet vines stuck to the house without damaging the house or leaving suckers behind?
- Answered by
MichiganDot on
August 11, 2017A.Cut the stems at the base to kill the top growth and let the leaves and suckers (aerial rootlets) wither completely before pulling down the vine. This does not kill the plant, by the way. If this is on brick, use a stiff nylon brush to remove what is left behind. Otherwise try a paint scraper with a gentle touch or 000 steel wool. Here is a link to a very thorough, if not disheartening, method for removing every last bit. https://www.joneakes.com/jons-fixit-database/1719-Removing-climbing-vines-from-walls. Another website suggests using something like Kilz stainblocker paint to hide residual marks. Good luck.

Boyertown PA 19512Q.Trumpet Vine
My husband pruned all the leaves off of our trumpet vine. All that remains are the base stems. Is there any hope that the plant will survive? It is at least 10 or 15 years old.
- Answered by

August 14, 2017A.Trumpet vine, Campsis radicans, is a vigorous grower with extensive roots. I believe it will survive and you'll see leaves before the end of the growing season. It may, however, pop up in other locations from the root system. These will need to be promptly removed to limit growth to its original location.
