Has anyone had any luck with splinting plants?

Due to bad winds up on top of my hill, some of my plants have broken. I read splinting can work so I thought I'd give it a go.

I did this with my young hydrangea bush which had two stems broken when I moved house.
I splinted them up with kebab sticks and black tape. Gave it plenty of water and some plant food. They survived and flowered the following summer.
This year it has been transplanted into the garden still with its 'bandages' and is doing fine, with affected limbs beginning to bud again.

So yes, give it a go.

Ive moved it into the creamery and given it a good drink and feed. :)

Is it a honeysuckle? I can't tell from the photo. I'd be tempted to cut back. That said I had a smoke bush that split & I bolted (literally) the two halves of limb back together & it's thriving. Puncture wounds are easier for a plant to cope with

Oh, yes. That's what it is. I lost its plant tag.

I did the same as Sixties but with a Rosemary. With a honeysuckle I'd just cut it back though as they are relatively fast growing and throw up new shoots quite easily.
