I have also posted this on the vine forum,

I recently bought a piece of property that had been abandoned for 10 plus years. There is not much to save as far as plants and shrubs go, but there is a Wisteria vine. The wisteria is intermingled with a couple of privets, a lot of the vine is on the ground right now. Some of the vine is entangled in a small collapsed metal arbor type structure. There are small buds on many of the shoots, but no leaves at this point. I don't know if it actually blooms, I didn't see it last spring or summer. I'm not sure how to proceed to get it healthy. I think I need to get rid of the privets so I can get a look at just the wisteria. Then what? Should it be pruned? What kind of structure should I put up for it to climb? I'm eventually building a house on the property but I don't want to spend a lot on a structure now. I want to put up something temporary just to see if it will grow. Any suggestions are appreciated.
