I love wisteria, but hadn't realised it was a dangerous plant - but it is so stunning when the blue flowers do come out ... but good luck with clearing the yard ... we have invasive species here too ... including rhododendrons ... <br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080048310531382107.post-71837243189223314242014-07-21T16:34:46.356-07:002014-07-21T16:34:46.356-07:00I had wisteria when we lived in Oklahoma City.

We hacked it back until it only covered the fence and garden shed.

Unfortunatley, this donation came with giant hogweed that is now threatening to take over the car park. It's not progressed to my plot, thank goodness, but it's lethal stuff. Steps are being taken to drive it away.Julia Thorleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485301135194085398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080048310531382107.post-77262702338294914352014-07-19T17:59:54.571-07:002014-07-19T17:59:54.571-07:00I grow veggies and sweet potatoes.
