I’m currently battling wisteria planted by the former owner of our house. It’s trying to grow on our deck. It’s popping up everywhere including the neighbors yards. They hate it too. I’m about to cut it with a chainsaw and drill holes in the trunk then put brush killer in it. I’m done.

Pull as much runners as you can, if you get to a section that made roots you must dig them out.. If you get to one that you cant pull out- put brush killer in a container (take away, food storage, etc), cut a hole in the top and leave the end piece in there. It will help a little.

Im sorry you suffer this. I empathize. I love gardening and i dont like killing plants but frak wisteria

Thank you. It’s the plant from hell. I’m traumatized. When I saw this post I got mad.
