        The metal might get really cold in the winter.
        Might damage the climber?

          Doesn't appear to have much of an effect!

          Does anyone know if I need to prune it? I've had to trim some of the top of it as it's going over to next door's garden!

          Gets lots of white flowers in the summer, right into the middle of autumn.

                  It's Jasminum officinale

                  Lots of white flowers during the summer season covers the bed frame.

                  Around 2 years ago, it didn't look that full - most of the bottom was visible but it's really started to fill out now.

                      It looks great Kyle, a summer picture in full flower would be good. :)

                        I agree, we need a photo when it is in full flower.
                        That's because it was begun before you were (GC) born :heehee:
