Hi all

I have a youngish wisteria (about 4 years planting) growing on the front
of
my house. I have to cut it back hard every year as it really has not got a
lot to cling against (mistake to plant it there in the 1st place really!).
However I have a nice long fence in my back garden which I'm sure would be
a
more suitable home for it. Any thoughts on the possibilities /
desirability
of transplanting it?

Thanks all in anticipation

All depends on which way the fence faces, west or south may be ok but fences
are never as good as walls at frost protection, Wisteria flowers are frost
sensitive which is why they are grown on walls. To move it, cut back hard in
Autumn and shift it with a good root ball, should be fine, but don't expect
flowers in the short term it will be like starting over.
