FARM Wisteria next to an orchard

[naegling62]

I have recently planted an orchard of 15 trees but it didn’t dawn on me about the Wisteria that is close by. I know Wisteria is toxic, do y'all know if it would pose a danger to the fruit of the fruit trees?

It will try to climb your trees like kudzu. And can be just as aggressive. Other than that, nope.

Never heard of wisteria being toxic, but like Kyrsysn said, it grows like kudzu. You will have to be proactive in keeping it out of your orchard

Realize, I absolutely love the scent of it. But you can't make extract from it. So I enjoy it in moderation. But a neighbor let it go wild and I had to be cruel. And even with it all dead, the dead vines still criss cross parts of my backyard.

We have a fair amount on our property, and we work hard to keep it under control. I haven't eliminated it, mainly because it was my daughters favorite flower, and it brings me fond memories of her when it is in bloom.
