Retaining Wall Cleanup: Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans)

 

Here we can see a mix of vines which are properly attached to the wall, and some that have been detached and thrown over by the grounds crew. We'll finish the job by preserving as much as we can of the healthy vines while disposing of the clutter.

 

This aerial tangle is composed of dead vines, live vines, tree branches, and dead palmetto stalks.

Now it's all cleaned up!

 

Now the wall's cleaned up and will hopefully support some trumpet creeper flowers later in the year.

 
You've probably not recently seen a pile of vines this large.
