I am not the only one struggling with wisteria. This plant is really strong! Groetjes Hetty

Hello Hetty. This Wisteria is a very old plant that has never had much training. It's supported by a wooden frame which had partly collapsed letting the plant fall down in places. So I repaired the frame and trained the Wisteria over it so that now one can once again access the lily pond patio from that direction.
