Black Bear save seeds. Maybe we can do a trade this winter. I have zero
multifloras, and this sounds like one I would like to grow. The last multi
flora I grew was Sweet Beverly way back, and it was too mild.

I think the question was about how you support the individual clusters. And I think the answer is that... you don't. At least that's how it seems, with those kinked trusses. I know that kinked trusses usually do just fine, but there's something about seeing them and imagining that nutrients don't pass thorough . There are some plastic clips to prevent that, and also the good old rope tying method.

I grew them in 7 gallon square containers ...raised about 2ft off ground

the vines went 3.5 feet up then folded down 4-5 feet .

One found a Rose quartz vine to go up and got some protection and later still blossums .

Rose quartz is a mild sweet .

Ooh, I get it now! Until last year I tied heavy trusses because it looks so fragile. I was afraid of not letting nutrients pass and ripping off the plant. But I saw somebody who didn't even support the heaviest trusses. It never went wrong, she said. So this year I only tied the heaviest trusses. Not these. And they do fine.

I'll be sending a very limited supply of the Rose Quartz to the MMMM swap. If you are interested send me a pm so I can get an idea of the demand when I pack them up. I'll edit the post when it gets reasonably close to being gone.
