Trumpet vine

Question

I cut my trumpet vine down in fall to about 10″ and covered it with a 5 gallon pail….. uncovered in April after the weather was above 32…. I live in WI….. I think it’s dead… no sign of life…. what did I do… kill it? Is there anything I can do now?

Answer 1

I'd recommend waiting to see if some sprouts grow from the root ball. Trumpet vines, if well established, are pretty tough, even when trimmed radically. The vine might still make it.
