On the side of may house I have two big pines about 8ft apart. I planted carolina jasmine at the bottom of each tree with the idea that they'll grow together and make a living wall. Well it's working both trees have jasmine growing up about 20ft and towards the ground they've gotten wide enough to start growing together,

Question, think I should prune off the upper 6-8 ft to encourage more growth lower on the tree??? Think that would get them to grow wider as opposed to growing higher, I don't need them any higher.

Question two. Think I could grow more vines mixed in with the jasmine?? The object of that would be to have flowers at various times of year or something scented growing in there. I not sure if the carolina jasmine would just choke out any other vine???? Anyone have a comment on that idea??? Anyone actually pull it off?

To bad Bougainvillea isn't cold hardy.
