I did major surgery on the 2036, and cut off the splintered ribbon vine back to decent secondary. Then I found a blowout in the main of the 1493 Witter-Benson. A lengthwise split and a crosswise split that cuts off a third of the vine. It must have been the wind, and I will lose about 4' of the main. I will trim it back and let a secondary take over, if it survives today's storms. Forecast is for heavy rain, large hail and 70 mph straight line winds, with flash flood watch. OK, I get the hint Mother nature, but you aren't going to stop me. Just wait till next year, as the Cubs always say.
