Although I'm in Cornwall, I'm 5 miles inland, 500' East facing elevation -
we get the same winters as Dartmoor. Last year I lost a couple of 2 year old
cherry trees and I think our 7 year old Wisteria may have perished.
It started to produce buds during the warm March, but now the frost has
blackened them and these buds about 4mm long and are seriously dead.
Q1 Will they form new buds this year, or can I assume the Wisteria is dead?
If yes, it's a great pity, as it produced a fine display from year 3
onwards:-

It is unlikely to be dead, and will almost certainly sprout later.
You won't get many flowers this year, if any. Definitely leave it
alone until August, and you might even leave it alone until next
year - some such plants can skip a year and still regrow, but I
don't know if it is one.
