Bougainvillea Question?
« on: July 04, 2008, 20:54 »

As you can see, I'm trying to grow a Bougainvillea in my conservatory.
I would ideally like to train it along,above the window.
Question is, should I (after flowering) remove the weakest shoots (as it's really getting top heavy) and tie the strongest shoot where I want it to develop next year :?: or just tie it all over, and hope that it doesn't break?
Here's a close up....
Life begins... On the kitchen windowsill.

Someone does, I'm sure, people just don't read all posts. Worth bouncing it. :wink:

I'd go for one strong shoot, not that I've ver grown any. :lol:

thanks Gobs. Thats kind of what conclusion I am drawing to. :)
It's getting pretty heavy with flower now and I will need to support it in some way pretty soon. 8)
