Hello every one. I just really like the trumpet vine. You see them all over Albuquerque. I live about 30 miles east of there. I had wondered if I could grow trumpet vine here as well. We get a lot more snow and colder temps tires here in the mountains. Well I started this trumpet vine from seed. It kept dieing down to the ground every winter. It did that for the first 3 years. I was getting kinda frustrated as was not making any progress on the size. But then it finally stopped dying down to the ground and has been making steady progress.
