What spray kills wisteria?

How do you control Wisteria runners?

Wisteria can be controlled but not killed with mechanical controls, including pulling, stumping, or periodic mowing. Due to Wisteria's extensive runner and root system, only small initial infestations can be effectively controlled by pulling. The removal off all of the root system is required to prevent resprouting.

How do you get rid of invasive wisteria?

Cut the main vine(s) at the base of the plant with shears or a handsaw. Discard all cuttings, vines, flowers and pods in the trash — do not compost as the plant can easily re-establish itself there and create more problems. Apply an herbicide to the cut end of the plant.

Can wisteria be cut back hard?

Hard pruning will stimulate strong, new growth so it is better to avoid feeding in the first spring after hard pruning. If there are gaps in the framework suitably positioned new growths can be trained in to form replacement branches, with flowering usually resuming in two or three years' time.
