When I saw She and Chantell and Lee on the same forum talking about Jasmine, I just had to pop in and say hello. I have been out of sorts for a few weeks but I am back part time and hope to get back into the swing of things very soon.
I have a greenhouse full of little cuttings of Maid of Orleans and that is primarily the only Jasmine I propagate for sale, but I can tell you, the Maid gets very big if not cut back at least once a year. My two year old plants are about 18 inches tall and getting bushy. I was hoping I would not have to cut them this Fall because I do not need any additional cuttings and I never throw any of them away. I seem to have a green thumb with this baby and I have a great percentage of success with all types of cuttings from the Maid.
Lee depending on what kind you have planted almost all the Sambac Varieties will be viney or leggy if not clipped, but I would think the aroma they will provide around the deck would be worth the time it takes to cut it back.
Just my old opinion. Have a great day.
