I understand your reasons but wisteria is so beautiful!
Yes, it's wonderful. But it's best grown over a pergola, along the
'banisters' of a bridge, something like that. If it gets up into gutters
and roof tiles, it's a menace and it grows very quickly but it doesn't HAVE
to go up a house wall. Try growing it as a standard with a central post for
support and three or four 'arms' along which to train it. Then it will grow
as tall as the post you give it and flow down onto the ground in a very
graceful fashion or be trimmed to give an umbrella shape. Google image on
