Just looked at this thread and I agree with you GG. Looks like wind damage. I've never grown jasmine up here as I would always worry about the hardiness. Maybe worth putting in something else instead trifidhouse or at least try moving this somewhere more sheltered if possible and see if it improves.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Trifid house, that looks like Trachelospermum Jasminoides or Star Jasmin. It's lovely when it gets going and a good evergreen for a sunny spot. It does need the sun and yours looks as though it has suffered a bit in the winter. They can be a bit tender if not in a sheltered spot. It also looks hungry. Have you ever given it any fertiliser?
I have one which really suffered in the winter of 2011/12 when it went down to -17° and we had snow, but it really picked up during the summer, but I live in Dordogne so our summer was a lot warmer than yours. We had snow this winter too, several times but it wasn't so cold and the jasmin is fine.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
thanks for all you help. We are a bit cold up here so I think I will move it to a more sheltered position. It was planted about 3 years ago but we have had loads of snow every year. thanks Gardfening Grandma I will try some high pot ash feed it only had a bit of general type feed last year so that may perk it up.

On the other hand, one of mine was brought down by snow this year and obviously got very cold. It is still OK.
