As I prune the wisteria (and honeysuckle and Tara vines), I keep picturing the last attempt. Wisteria hysteria. Here are the crime scene photos. At least, I'm not pruning them down to their roots.
I know wisteria should be pruned after it blooms in the spring, but the arbor is deteriorating and I have to get it ready to replace all the uprights and cross-beams this summer. I also need to lessen the snow load this winter.

Your post reminded me of fighting hops in my garden. Its stems are not as thick as wisteria's trunk, but its roots went two feet deep. I know, it will come back!I wrote about it in my post "Hops - A Scary Story", May 25th. I always dreamed about having a wisteria. Maybe, I should stop dreaming! Thank you for your story!
I have a wisteria in my garden, that looks more like a giant bust or small tree than anything else. They are so gorgeous in the spring.
