It grew up and draped gracefully. Every winter, faithfully, I went out and hacked it back to its trunk. That helped keep it a nice small tree/shrub. Of course occasionally had to pull up runners and hack them back, but no problems. It was beautiful!juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351247097680979735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-36851403531510464792016-07-28T07:50:54.366-04:002016-07-28T07:50:54.366-04:00i can feel it out there, Carol, mocking me and jus...i can feel it out there, Carol, mocking me and just waiting for me to come back... <br /><br />CTF, i will take all of your blackberries. they dont grow here like you have them. ugh!<br /><br />Vera, this one is just a nightmare. i think i'd like it if it was out in a field somewhere and i could get it to grow up a tree or something. but i actually know of a house that was lifted off it's foundation by a wisteria!Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-75872720879755146132016-07-28T03:12:01.657-04:002016-07-28T03:12:01.657-04:00Sorry, but I love wisteria, and shall be planting ...Sorry, but I love wisteria, and shall be planting some next year. The worse invasive plant is the blackberry. It is everywhere, and is now growing along the new fence lines we have done recently which means that in a year or so the fence may risk being pulled down by the weight of the brambles. At least wisteria drapes gracefully over things, has pretty leaves and flowers, and does not scratch you with its prickles!

We have more than I have ever seen and I'm managing to harvest about 10% of them. So. Many. Blackberries.

Both will survive the apocalypse. Though I love wisteria it has destroyed our pergola. We have trunks that are the size of a mans biceps.

Every time I try to cut them down they come back twice as strong. Right now it is about to cover my chicken house.

Living in a subdivision - fire bad.) We dug it to the bare bones and used some sort of root killer. It worked on one invasion but it seems to have morphed in the second to become immune. Maybe it is some sort of Borg plant. I feel your pain. LissaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880278824951201109noreply@blogger.com
