Question from a smith

clematis montana has been neglected and is now a tangled mess of woody stems, some curling along the floor. Should I trim it back to the ground after flowering this year?

Question from Bob Ryder

Is there a feed for Acers that I should use, as my 3 Acers are 2-3 years old and only 1 foot to 1.5 feet tall (planted in the garden, not in a tub)?
Thank you,
Bob Ryder
