Replacing Aggressive Wisteria on an Arbor Near Power Lines

Wisteria needs biweekly trimming near 4-foot-overhead lines. Replace with less aggressive vines: morning glory (annual, reseeds), grape (edible, messy fruit), clematis (many varieties), trumpet vine, winter creeper. Avoid Virginia creeper/Boston ivy—harder to remove than wisteria.

Match vine to your USDA zone. Clematis offers best bloom variety with manageable vigor.
