Wisteria are beautiful...in the right place, but not too many homes have the right space for such a huge vine, and they do need lots of time/trouble . I would love to have a patio covered with it, but at my age, I doubt I could take care of it, even if I had the room. I'm getting less inclined to use the hedge trimmer and chainsaw with every year. I'm going to pay a neighbor to do what I should be doing.
