Sure it’s pretty, and the flowers smell delightful.

But I call it the Jumanji vine. Leave your car parked beside the path too long and the vines will pull it into the shrubbery and slowly devour it.

These vines eat trees. It’s like vertical kudzu.

I planted my wisteria at the very back of the yard. I figured we’ll have moved to The Home before it eats the house.

It hasn’t encroached too much. The Upnorth People on the other side of the fence chopped at it last year from their side. I had to cut a couple of wheelbarrows’-full of branches.
