Can You Replant in the Same Hole Where a Diseased Wisteria Was Removed?

Question

I recently removed a wisteria that suffering from some disease (had a lot of small holes in vines). I want to replant a trumpet vine in its place. Can this be done without the trumpet vine ending up with the same problem?

Answer 1

It sounds like the wisteria was suffering from borers. They should not affect the trumpet vine, but as a precaution, I would recommend treating the area with a pesticide like neem oil before replanting.
