THe wisteria is the same height as the bungalow and

flowers died as soon as they appeared The main stem on the tree
seems healthy but there is a lot of dead branches entwined all the
way up and a couple of birds nests at the top.


If it's to thrive and florish wisteria needs to be severely pruned

"Wisteria can live a long, healthy life with no pruning at all, happily
twining, climbing, and sprawling over everything in its path."
