I have a pink mandevilla that has survived several (5) New Orleans winters but has become very wild and woody for the bottom 3/4 of the plant and has foliage only in the top section. I have never trimmed it back or thinned it. It has stopped flowering now and has clustered all over the top of its 4 ft. trellis and as a result is quite entangled. I was trying to find a way to cut it back so it could start all over again but did not want to kill it. I don't think a taller trellis would solve anything as it would become unsightly due to the woody lower growth..

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if my answer is correct or not, but I did trim mine back every spring and it comes back fuller and fuller every year. I have the yellow though.
