Where does she get her information from? Wisteria eating a house - come on!!!!! Has she ever SEEN wisteria before? The people responding have more knowledge than her !!
wisteria do not have arial roots it climbs by supporting itself on it's previous years growth. English ivy will do damage to houses and chimneys. The english ivy climbs by actually rooting into the support it is growing on. If that is your house it will eventually "eat" away brick and wood. Wisteria do not have arial roots. The only damage they can cause would be from their weight if left un pruned.
But one sees so many amazing old wisteria on so many amazing old houses in England -- I don't believe it they're pruned properly that wisteria are that dangerous to houses :)
they arn't. The only problem with Wisteria is that if the roots are too near the house it could grow into the foundations. Also, left unpruned, the stems get thicker and thicker. So if they have wound themselves around your gutter and downpipes, they will eventually rip them off the wall. They need keeping an eye on is all.
I find this is the best gardening advice ont he Internet because it is to clear and unfussy - simple and straightforward - thank you Yolanda
