THe wisteria is the same height as the bungalow and
has only produced 3 very small leaves and they are a yellow the
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
back each year, obviously you're guilty of total neglect.

Smack smack, baaaad poppy. Yet the same article says:
"Wisteria can live a long, healthy life with no pruning at all,
happily twining, climbing, and sprawling over everything in its
path." David
I just knew you would glom onto that... proof you're abjectly lazy and
functionally illiterate... if you put down the beer and bong long
enough to check a dictionary you may learn that "can" doesn't mean
"will" --- functionally illiterate because you can't comprehend the
obverse *irony* the author injected by that one statement with
respect to the entire article on pruning. Just in case you don't get
it, ignorance is bliss. Be happy.
