What should I do to gain control of the vine, and get rid of the unsightly wood beneath it? The options I’ve considered are:
- 1. Manually hacking away at the old wood underneath, which is incredibly labor intensive and hard to untangle the old from the new vines
2. Chopping it all down and hoping it will grow back more nicely
3. Chopping it all down and veering the whole fence with a different vine that is less billowy, like creeping fig. I worry I would have to remove the entire fence though to get rid of the passion fruit.
