Trumpet vine
We enjoy our trumpet vine because it looks nice and attracts humming
birds. But it seems to be sending up shoots 6+ feet away from the main trunk. Is there a way to control those shoots? They are not welcome in the vegetable garden or my neighbor's yard. |

It'll help the bloom too. You or your neighbor will still have to deal with shoots for a while though. |
