    Does anybody know if a replanted Virginia creeper will grow new tendrils along the existing runner if given a chance in a new location. Obviously the old tendrils have little or no chance of reestablish themselves but might the vine grow new tendrils to replace the old ones.

    Somebody, last year, I don't remember who, replanted Virginia creeper and perhaps they had an observation pro or con.

    Jerry I transplanted my Virginia Creeper years ago to climb on a bare brick wall. It produced new tendrils and clung to the wall and is still going strong. It did take a few of weeks, if I remember correctly, to re-establish itself. I never had to tie it up though. Hope this helps you with yours.

    Thank you Eileen, that is most reassuring. As an experiment, I am going to cut the tendrils. Perhaps the vine will speed up the process.
