NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Mac, DO NOT plant wisteria. It does not care
about sun, shade, water, drought, or that you want it to stay on
a "swing frame." All it wants to grow all day every day until it
covers every tree and shrub in your yard. If you still think you
may want it, ask 3 people who have it growing in their yard if
they would plant it again. Hope that'll cure you.

Fooey on you! Anyone who doesn't fall in love with the fleeting
"spang-dangles" put forth by the wisteria vine every spring is feeble
indeed.

You might not want this puple elephant in your yard, but you cannot
dismiss its beauty.
