My wisteria is over 20 years old and has done beautifully for all that time. Our deck, which is near the wisteria, was replaced last summer. The original deck had a wood foundation and wood surface. The new deck has the same wood foundation but a trex-type surface. We are seeing some little leaves that look dry as opposed to normal sized leaves. I found the info on gall but do not see any signs of that. I appreciate your feedback.

Our wisteria, which is 20+ years old, is showing some very small, dry looking leaves. I did see the info on gall but don't see any signs of that. I appreciate your help.
I would check for crown or root galls. Here is some information on them that may be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/how-to-fix-crown-gall.htm
If that doesn't turn up anything, it may have a fungus. Treat the plant with a fungicide. I like neem oil, as it will also deal with any pest issues the plant has and it is safe for people and pets. Here is more information on it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm
I have a mature wisteria that blossoms every year. It has several limbs coming off it. I have grown it primarily over a pergola (where the old wood is) but have recently encouraged it in another direction which is doing very well. Question: How to discourage growth over pergola and encourage in the other direction without harming it? The limbs in the other direction are established and blossom but a quarter the thickness of the main limb. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I planted my wisteria about two years ago and it has grown to about 10 ft. tall and is very full. Have not had a sign of a blooms, however. Please help.
These are fast growing vines, so it shouldn't take too long depending on the type of plant used (i.e. cutting, seedling, larger potted plant). Anyhow, it is difficult to say for certain how long it will take to cover the pergola fully but at least within the first two years or so with good care. Blooms, again, depend on the planting used but once flowering occurs in mid-spring, should last a few weeks. Phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal added to the soil around your plant will help with blooming.

Problem wisteria which I have cut to virtual ground level. Choking up my sewer pipes and storm water. Have some blackberry/lantana poison which I have been told to spray on the 'flesh' of the remainder of the trunk. Would it be more prudent to get a stump grinder in and grind as deep as possible in preference to poisoning for months after grinding? Would the roots still survive under concrete (driveway) and cause further problems?
Some of the roots will continue to sprout even once the stump is removed. This article will help with eliminating wisteria: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/controlling-or-getting-rid-of-wisteria.htm
MY WISTERIA is 2 yrs. old and the same size now as the day it was planted. (full sun on a fence in the backyard) It will look beautiful and green and then go kinda pale green yellow (like a dog whizzed on it). I know it's not animal whiz because we put a small fence 1 foot from the base all way round. What am I doing wrong? CONCORD GRAPE VINE is great, in its 3rd year of grapes, but they are never larger than a champagne grape (large pea). How do I make the grapes grow larger? HONEYSUCKLE is yellow/orange. Can you root new shoots from an older vine?
For the wisteria - there is a general rule of thumb about wisteria and this is that the first year they establish, the second year they relax and the third year, they take over. Give it another year and you should see healthy and active growth. As for the yellowing, increase the water some and give it some balanced fertilizer and that should help.
For your grapes - You may need to do selective thinning. This article is on seedless grapes, but the advice still applies to your Concords: http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_h/H-311.pdf
For the honeysuckle - Yes, you can. This article will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/how-to-root-cuttings-from-various-shrubs-bushes-and-trees.htm
