Wisteria

I see many houses, older and newer, with stunning wisterias growing across them. If wisteria are dangerous for foundations, why are they generally planted right up against the houses?

Ivy is also bad for brickwork and gets under roof tiles. It still doesn't stop people having it.

It’s because they are heavy. And during the summer months the growth is a lot. But if h support them on something heavy ( not attached to the house ) and keep the soppy growth from growing into ur house by pruning it. It can be fine.
