Finally, discard all removed parts in the trash. The biology is similar to that of clematis slime flux, although it is thought that in trees the bacteria most usually colonise the plant through the roots. To do so, cut off several inches from each stub, then paint the fresh surface of each cut within 15 minutes with an herbicide containing the active ingredient triclopyr. If you decide to replace the vine, take measures to kill the root. Consider replacing the plant with a different vine.It's possible the vine may survive on its own because slime flux is typically a self-limiting problem.

So, we have several bottom lines to consider: See "Silver lace vine identification and control" - click here. grandiflora Other names White anemone clematis, Clematis anemoniflora, Clematis montana. It spreads via seeds deposited in forest and woodlands, where it rapidly overgrows native plantings. The bad news: The Silver Lace Vine is classified as an invasive plant in Washington and numerous other places. The current scientific name is Fallopia baldschuanica, a synonym (a previous name) is Polygonum aubertii. The good news: We've identified the plant. May suffer from clematis diseases such as clematis slime flux and clematis wilt or powdery mildews. The only disease caused by bacteria is slime flux. Viruses are responsible for some symptoms which can be easily confused with those brought about for other reasons. This has turned out to be a good news/bad news story. Propagate by layering or semi-hardwood cuttings. The most important causal agents are fungi. Then, too, when did you first notice the ooze? Did it begin before or after the vine was pruned? Were some leaves and/or stems shriveled, brown, and dry? What were the earliest signs and symptoms you saw? When did you first see any problems with the clematis? So, let's start from the beginning, before you cut back the vine: In any event, I've emailed a colleague who is a clematis specialist, in hopes of learning more about what has happened to your clematis here in Oregon.

However, I'm concerned about the diagnosis, in part because the RHS article says clematis slime flux is a spring problem, that it commonly follows an injury during the winter.

I suspect you've also seen it because your images reveal that the vine has been severely pruned, the suggested remedy in that article. During my research about clematis slime flux, I located just one resource from the UK, more specifically the Royal Horticultural Society.
