Trellis plants

The oxymoron (if that's the right word) is that a plant if pretty if that's where you want it to grow, otherwise it's a pain in the ass.

Plant in point - bougainvilla (I don't care if it's spelled right or not). It's in the wrong place, it's overgrown, it's thorny, it's a pain. In addition, it doesn't chip really well so I have to cut it down using pruning shears and a chainsaw.

Oxymoron - I went to HD and bought two (guess what) bougainvillas. Why? Because I found a right place for them and the old one (the one I'm trying to kill) is too well established to transplant.

There is a wisteria that is competing with the old bougainvilla for space. I'm running interference for the wisteria and trying to keep the bougainvilla down while the wisteria overgrows it. We'll see how that works. Wisteria is not easy to take care of either. After trimming, it won't go through chippers without jamming it. My project (one of many) is to build a trellis for the wisteria.
