overgrown poets jasmine?
In our new house we have a poet's jasmine in each corner of the garden. I found the label at the bottom of one of the plants, so I am certain this is what it is.
They are beautiful and I want to keep them, but they are quite overgrown. They have gone straight up to find the sun through some other overgrown evergreen shrubs, but I would really like to cut them back and train them along the fences. I can only think this was the original intention as trellis is already there.
There is no foliage on the plant below the level of the other shrubs. How much can I prune it and when? Is there anything I can do to encourage it along the fence?

Are you pruning the other shrubs back to give this some light lower down? Or if the roots will still be shaded but the fence is in the sun I would look to unwinding and moving over existing growth.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

The other shrubs will be tidied and a little height taken off, but to get along the fence it will need to sit above where they are anyway. It hadn't even occurred to me that I could move what's there, won't it snap?0
