Sounds perfect. I knew a trellis wasn't quite right. The funny thing is
(and consider the source) in my memory she used guide wires or something and
I kept thinking that made no sense since it was a suckerer not a twiner...
Anyway, I hope to get to her garden myself in July so perhaps I can check
out the specimen and it's training first hand!
