Any best way to prune back my caapi?

[InnerPathsToOuterSpace]

Hi all,

 

I am looking to prune back my caapi before winter hits and an online search hasn't given me any definitive answers. Is there any best way to prune my girl back, she's gone off over summer in the ground and has invaded all the surrounding plants in my garden pretty good through lack of diligence on my part 

 

Thanks for reading guys!

Step 1 - Aquire scissors

Step 2 - choose the bits you want to cut

Step 3 - using a chopping action cut the branch

Lol but seriously it's that easy, just chop it where u want and root out the other bits! Maybe try to prune it in a way where it can grow more freely and not thru all the plants you don't want it too!

Even if you cut it at the base it would regrow!

What d00d said. Make sure you try to propagate all those cut sections so you turn your vine into many.

Does it need to be pruned? Mine went from 3 leaves to this... I still don't know what I'm going to do with it, all my spots to put it in the ground look to exposed. Anyways, here she is.

Haha, good one d00d!

 

I'll just prune away at the upper extremities that are going ape shit in the canopy above. Anything with woody vine/not green sections is fair game to make cuttings out of yeah?

I recall p's dog mention in another thread how much caapi loved being heavily pruned, Ie promotes nice thick vine really quickly, anyone got a link to that?? ?
