Damage from Cold Snap on Wisteria

Question

My very large, old wisteria (25+ years) is not showing any signs of life, with the exception of one small branch that is flowering. We had a VERY cold week here in Albuquerque, much colder than normal this year. Does it have a chance, given there is a touch of life on one branch? I keep watching for buds, can’t tell yet if they are coming out. Is their anything I can do?

Answer 1

I would cut it back to where the stems are still alive. This article will help you figure out where that is: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htm
