I have a clematis (Etoile Violette), climbing up through a tall,
narrow Eucryphia nymansensis Nymansay. It (the clematis) has done
wonderfully well this year, being a 15ft tall column of purple
flowers. But Etoile Violette is a viticella clematis, pruning group 3,
which means it flowers on new growth and should be pruned hard in
early Spring.

Pruning it as such is not a problem. I just cut through the main stem
a couple of feet from the ground, above a suitable pair of buds. But
how am I going to get the old growth out of the eucryphia? Just
ripping it down will probably pull off smaller side-branches from the
eucryphia, and erecting a ladder or steps are out of the question, as
the ground is soft and the eucryphia isn't robust enough to support a
ladder against it.

Any suggestions? What if I just leave the upper growth in the
eucryphia to die off? What if I don't prune it at all and just leave
it?

If you cut the stems in November and wait 3 weeks its normally so dead
and crispy by then most should come out easily leaving you the shrub
clean for the winter. any bits that get left behind generally blow out
within a week or two!
