I got rid of it. I've had wisteria - beautiful, but it will find ways into your house, opening up any cracks and slipping under roof tiles. I wouldn't recommend it on a house. And I have a vine-covered patio. Pruning is easy in the spring, it provides excellent shade and the hanging grapes look lovely. But if you have it for shade, the grapes won't ripen properly, and if you don't cut them off in early September, you'll be invaded by wasps. I cut them off and chuck them on the compost.Pueblo girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904318623281033442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499671076590096775.post-61813199755341567942013-03-09T10:07:54.274+01:002013-03-09T10:07:54.274+01:00Hmmm, estate agents are an issue.

Good luck and be careful!Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002346978289429622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499671076590096775.post-12563826768436799012013-03-08T18:00:28.702+01:002013-03-08T18:00:28.702+01:00Hi, vines are magic.

I wonder if you know a decent estate agent or similar to help us. We met a few, and so far it was a disaster... But we are determined. Hope to share with you our renovation adventures soon!
