some examples...What do you mean by the top flower leaves Dimelius? This is long and stringy with leaves here and there..I am not exactly sure what you mean for me to do....Is the top the very ends of each tendril or do you mean the top of each leaf cluster? Make believe you are talking to a young child because when it comes to pruning I am challenged I really appreciate the advice because, yes, I want it to grow thicker instead of longer...
