    I would say something is getting the roots. If you can, check them. There are several things it could be from root rot to pests to rodents.

    It may also be a fungus. As a precaution, treat the plant with a fungicide.

    Thanks for the information. I am going to wash them with a fungicidal soap. Also, the nursery told me that because of the strong winds we had last week and cooler temps it could have damaged it but that new growth would be coming soon. We'll see!

    What kind of support depends on what you plant on letting the wisteria do. If you plan on pruning yearly and heavily, you do not need as large a support. But, regardless of what you plan on doing, the support must be sturdy--like a large post, heavy-duty trellis, or even a pergola.

    Wisteria will grow up just about anything that is vertical. A post can work, but the only thing to be aware of is that it will quickly outgrow a post. You need to keep on top of it with pruning if grown this way to keep it from being a nuisance.

    Treat the plant with a fungicide (like neem oil) and that should fix it, but realize that it could just be dying from old age. Individual wisteria vines normally last 10-20 years.
