wysteria vines and trees
There is so much of the wysteria vine around - it got me wondering if it is
harmful to the trees that it grows on. Does anyone know? Lance |

Wisteria is nothing to mess with, IMHO!!!! Although my two were
[presumably] planted deliberately, I believe that a lot of the "tree-size" Wisteria seen around originally had a "host" (victim} tree for support. By the time the Wisteria had choked the life out of the host tree, the Wisteria was strong enough to support itself. I thought at one point that I had seen the description of the Raulston Arboretum's efforts to eradicate the Wisteria that was invading its borders (as opposed to the plantings), but I cannot find it right now.

I've heard it pulls trees and decks over and it should never be planted
unless you have a steel pole to run it up. "Lance R." wrote in message ... There is so much of the wysteria vine around - it got me wondering if it is harmful to the trees that it grows on. Does anyone know? Lance |

Not sure about that, but it will make you pull your hair out trying to get rid of an established infestation of the stuff. It is very pretty, but invasive. I prefer to view it from another yard preferably a mile or three away. "Lance R." wrote in message ...
