Moved group 2 clematis end of summer last year. Should I prune to 18 inches this spring? One is already sprouting. Nellie Moser and Niobe.
I got 2 Pittosporum evergreen shrubs last year. They are in pots outside the front door and are very much exposed to the elements. I haven't been watering them as they get a fair bit of rain. One of the plants in particular has started to wither - see pictures attached. Just wondering if you would recommend anything to save the plant ?

We back onto a house which has Leylandii planted and which have grown very high and overhang into our garden. I can't cut them back to the party wall as the foliage is brown so am wondering what can I do to prevent them continuing to grow and overhang the shared wall as we are losing significant amount of space in our already small garden. Would erecting a trellis stop them from breaking through?
