It took two of us 4 hours to make sense of, prune and organise numerous interwoven vines in 3 different areas.
Also decided to let go of some ceanothus lollipop trees that were a shadow of their former selves, effectively nothing more than a prop for the vines to sit on
Now I just need to:
Remove ceanothus trees
Clear away the debris
Get the fence damage fixed
Restring the wiring
Complete tying in the vines
Replace gate

You have lots of vines, including some notoriously vigorous ones. I’m impressed that you are getting them under control. Good Work!
I spend so much time fighting the evil invasive weedy vines English Ivy, Clematis Vitalba, Morning Glory and Himalayan Blackberry, that I’ve been very cautious about planting ornamental vines.
